Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

codeine zuranolone

Applies to: Tusso-C (codeine / guaifenesin), zuranolone

Zuranolone may cause sedation, dizziness, confusion, and trouble walking. The risk and/or severity may be increased when combined with other antidepressants or other medications that can also cause sedation. Let your doctor know prior to receiving zuranolone if you are currently using alcohol or receiving treatment with codeine, as you may be more likely to experience sedation-related side effects. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Do not drive, operate machinery, or engage in potentially hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until at least 12 hours after taking zuranolone. 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.

Moderate

codeine food

Applies to: Tusso-C (codeine / guaifenesin)

Do not use alcohol or medications that contain alcohol while you are receiving treatment with codeine. This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. With certain long-acting formulations of narcotic pain medication, consumption of alcohol may also cause rapid release of the drug, resulting in high blood levels that may be potentially lethal. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not use more than the recommended dose of codeine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
