Drug Interaction Report

Bimekizumab may decrease the blood levels and effects of ramelteon. You may need a dose adjustment if you have been receiving ramelteon and are starting treatment with bimekizumab. Likewise, if you have been receiving both medications, the dose of ramelteon may need to be adjusted when bimekizumab is discontinued. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.

Taking ramelteon with a high-fat or heavy meal may delay the onset of sleep. For faster sleep onset, ramelteon should not be administered with or immediately after a high-fat or heavy meal. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking ramelteon. It can increase some of the side effects including dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
