Drug Interaction Report

Before you undergo any imaging procedure where mebrofenin may be used, let your doctor know if you are currently receiving tapentadol. Treatment with medications like tapentadol may interfere with imaging of the gallbladder by slowing the passage of mebrofenin through the gastrointestinal tract. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of tapentadol such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with tapentadol. Do not use more than the recommended dose of tapentadol, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
