Viagra Drug Interaction

Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may lessen this problem. Before having any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment, tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking this medicine. Hydrocodone and ibuprofen combination may cause dryness of the mouth. For temporary relief, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if dry mouth continues for more than 2 weeks, check with your dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections.

Notes

Hydrocodone and ibuprofen ( hye-droe-KOE-done and eye-byoo-PROE-fen) combination is used to relieve pain. The hydrocodone is a narcotic analgesic that acts in the central nervous system to relieve pain. If hydrocodone is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects when you stop taking Viagra Drug Interaction. Since hydrocodone and ibuprofen combination is only used for short-term (10 days or less) relief of pain, physical dependence will probably not occur. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in this combination to relieve inflammation, swelling, and pain. Viagra Drug Interaction is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form(s): Oral Tablets (U.S.)

Storage

To store this Viagra Drug Interaction: Keep out of the reach of children. Store away from heat and direct light. Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places. Heat or moisture may cause the Viagra Drug Interaction to break down. Do not keep outdated Viagra Drug Interaction or medicine no longer needed. Be sure that any discarded medicine is out of the reach of children.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Viagra Drug Interaction, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.

How To Use

For safe and effective use of this medicine, do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than ordered by your health care professional. Taking too much of this medicine may increase the chance of unwanted effects. Dosing— The dose of hydrocodone and ibuprofen combination will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of hydrocodone and ibuprofen combination. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so. The number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the Viagra Drug Interaction depend on the medical problem for which you are taking hydrocodone and ibuprofen combination . For oral dosage form (tablets): For pain: Adults—1 tablet of Vicoprofen every four to six hours as needed. Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.

Drug Interactions

Other medicines—Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different Viagra Drug Interactions may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking a narcotic analgesic and acetaminophen combination, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following: Carbamazepine (e.g., Tegretol)—Propoxyphene may increase the blood levels of carbamazepine, which increases the chance of serious side effects Central nervous system (CNS) depressants or Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor activity (isocarboxazid [e.g., Marplan], phenelzine [e.g., Nardil], procarbazine [e.g., Matulane], selegiline [e.g., Eldepryl], tranylcypromine [e.g., Parnate]) (taken currently or within the past 2 weeks) or Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline [e.g., Elavil], amoxapine [e.g., Asendin], clomipramine [e.g., Anafranil], desipramine [e.g., Pertofrane], doxepin [e.g., Sinequan], imipramine [e.g., Tofranil], nortriptyline [e.g., Aventyl], protriptyline [e.g., Vivactil], trimipramine [e.g., Surmontil])—Taking these medicines together with a narcotic analgesic may increase the chance of serious side effects Naltrexone (e.g., Trexan)—Naltrexone keeps narcotic analgesics from working to relieve pain; people taking naltrexone should take pain relievers that do not contain a narcotic Zidovudine (e.g., AZT, Retrovir)—Acetaminophen may increase the blood levels of zidovudine, which increases the chance of serious side effects

Contraindications

In deciding to use a Viagra Drug Interaction, the risks of taking Viagra Drug Interaction must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For narcotic analgesic and acetaminophen combinations, the following should be considered: Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to acetaminophen or to a narcotic analgesic. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. Pregnancy— For acetaminophen: Although studies on birth defects with acetaminophen have not been done in pregnant women, it has not been reported to cause birth defects or other problems. For narcotic analgesics: Although studies on birth defects with narcotic analgesics have not been done in pregnant women, they have not been reported to cause birth defects. However, hydrocodone caused birth defects in animal studies when very large doses were used. Codeine did not cause birth defects in animals, but it caused slower development of bones and other toxic or harmful effects in the fetus. Pentazocine and propoxyphene did not cause birth defects in animals. There is no information about whether dihydrocodeine or oxycodone causes birth defects in animals.Too much use of a narcotic during pregnancy may cause the fetus to become dependent on the medicine. This may lead to withdrawal side effects in the newborn baby. Also, some of these medicines may cause breathing problems in the newborn baby if taken just before or during delivery. For caffeine: Studies in humans have not shown that caffeine (contained in some of these combination Viagra Drug Interactions) causes birth defects. However, studies in animals have shown that caffeine causes birth defects when given in very large doses (amounts equal to those present in 12 to 24 cups of coffee a day). Breast-feeding—Acetaminophen, codeine, and propoxyphene pass into the breast milk. It is not known whether other narcotic analgesics pass into the breast milk. However, these medicines have not been reported to cause problems in nursing babies. Children—Breathing problems may be especially likely to occur when narcotic analgesics are given to children younger than 2 years of age. These children are usually more sensitive than adults to the effects of narcotic analgesics. Also, unusual excitement or restlessness may be more likely to occur in children receiving these Viagra Drug Interactions. Acetaminophen has been tested in children and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults. Older adults—Elderly people are especially sensitive to the effects of narcotic analgesics. This may increase the chance of side effects, especially breathing problems, during treatment. Acetaminophen has been tested and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults. Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of narcotic analgesic and acetaminophen combinations. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially: Alcohol and/or other drug abuse, or history of, or Brain disease or head injury or Colitis or Convulsions (seizures), history of, or Emotional problems or mental illness or Emphysema, asthma, or other chronic lung disease or Hepatitis or other liver disease or Kidney disease or Underactive thyroid—The chance of serious side effects may be increased Enlarged prostate or problems with urination or Gallbladder disease or gallstones—Some of the effects of narcotic analgesics may be especially serious in people with these medical problems Heart disease—Caffeine (present in some of these combination Viagra Drug Interactions) can make some kinds of heart disease worse

Side Effects

Along with its needed effects, a Viagra Drug Interaction may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention. Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur: Cold, clammy skin; confusion (severe) ; convulsions (seizures); diarrhea; dizziness (severe); drowsiness (severe); increased sweating; low blood pressure; nausea or vomiting (continuing); nervousness or restlessness (severe) ; pinpoint pupils of eyes; shortness of breath or unusually slow or troubled breathing; slow heartbeat; stomach cramps or pain ; weakness (severe) Also, check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur: Less common or rare Black, tarry stools; bloody or cloudy urine; confusion; dark urine ; difficult or painful urination; fast, slow, or pounding heartbeat; frequent urge to urinate; hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there); increased sweating; irregular breathing or wheezing; mental depression; pain in lower back and/or side (severe and/or sharp); pale stools; pinpoint red spots on skin; redness or flushing of face; ringing or buzzing in ears; skin rash, hives, or itching; sore throat and fever ; sudden decrease in amount of urine; swelling of face; trembling or uncontrolled muscle movements; unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual excitement (especially in children); yellow eyes or skin Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to Viagra Drug Interaction. However, check with your medical doctor or dentist if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome: More common Dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint; drowsiness; nausea or vomiting; unusual tiredness or weakness Less common or rare Blurred or double vision or other changes in vision; constipation (more common with long-term use and with codeine or meperidine); dry mouth; false sense of well-being; general feeling of discomfort or illness; headache; loss of appetite; nervousness or restlessness; nightmares or unusual dreams; trouble in sleeping Although not all of the side effects listed above have been reported for all of these combination Viagra Drug Interactions, they have been reported for at least one of them. However, since all of the narcotic analgesics are very similar, any of the above side effects may occur with any of these Viagra Drug Interactions. After you stop using Viagra Drug Interaction, your body may need time to adjust. The length of time this takes depends on which of these Viagra Drug Interactions you were taking, the amount of Viagra Drug Interaction you were using, and how long you used it. During this time check with your doctor if you notice any of the following side effects: Body aches; diarrhea; fast heartbeat; fever, runny nose, or sneezing; gooseflesh; increased sweating; increased yawning; loss of appetite ; nausea or vomiting; nervousness, restlessness, or irritability; shivering or trembling ; stomach cramps; trouble in sleeping; weakness Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor.

Precautions

If you will be taking this Viagra Drug Interaction for a long time (for example, for several months at a time), or in high doses, your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Check the labels of all nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) and prescription medicines you now take. If any contain acetaminophen or a narcotic be especially careful, since taking them while taking this Viagra Drug Interaction may lead to overdose. If you have any questions about this, check with your medical doctor, dentist, or pharmacist. The narcotic analgesic in Viagra Drug Interaction will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (Viagra Drug Interactions that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping Viagra Drug Interaction; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, there may be a greater risk of liver damage if you drink three or more alcoholic beverages while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your medical doctor or dentist before taking any of Viagra Drug Interactions listed above, while you are using this medicine. Too much use of the acetaminophen in this combination medicine together with certain other medicines may increase the chance of unwanted effects. The risk will depend on how much of each medicine you take every day, and on how long you take the Viagra Drug Interactions together. If your doctor directs you to take these Viagra Drug Interactions together on a regular basis, follow his or her directions carefully. However, do not take Viagra Drug Interaction together with any of the following medicines for more than a few days, unless your doctor has directed you to do so and is following your progress: Aspirin or other salicylates Diclofenac (e.g., Voltaren) Diflunisal (e.g., Dolobid) Etodolac (e.g., Lodine) Fenoprofen (e.g., Nalfon) Floctafenine (e.g., Idarac) Flurbiprofen, oral (e.g., Ansaid) Ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin) Indomethacin (e.g., Indocin) Ketoprofen (e.g., Orudis) Ketorolac (e.g., Toradol) Meclofenamate (e.g., Meclomen) Mefenamic acid (e.g., Ponstel) Nabumetone (e.g., Relafen) Naproxen (e.g., Naprosyn) Oxaprozin (e.g., Daypro) Phenylbutazone (e.g., Butazolidin) Piroxicam (e.g., Feldene) Sulindac (e.g., Clinoril) Tenoxicam (e.g., Mobiflex) Tiaprofenic acid (e.g., Surgam) Tolmetin (e.g., Tolectin) Viagra Drug Interaction may cause some people to become drowsy, dizzy, or lightheaded, or to feel a false sense of well-being. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert and clearheaded. Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help lessen this problem. Nausea or vomiting may occur, especially after the first couple of doses. This effect may go away if you lie down for a while. However, if nausea or vomiting continues, check with your medical doctor or dentist. Lying down for a while may also help relieve some other side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness, that may occur. Before having any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment, tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking this medicine. Narcotic analgesics may cause dryness of the mouth. For temporary relief, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if dry mouth continues for more than 2 weeks, check with your dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections. If you have been taking Viagra Drug Interaction regularly for several weeks or more, do not suddenly stop taking it without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to reduce gradually the amount you are taking before stopping completely, to lessen the chance of withdrawal side effects. This will depend on which of these medicines you have been taking, and the amount you have been taking every day. If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of this Viagra Drug Interaction, get emergency help at once. Taking an overdose of Viagra Drug Interaction or taking alcohol or CNS depressants with this medicine may lead to unconsciousness or death. Signs of overdose of narcotics include convulsions (seizures), confusion, severe nervousness or restlessness, severe dizziness, severe drowsiness, shortness of breath or troubled breathing, and severe weakness. Signs of severe acetaminophen overdose may not occur until several days after the overdose is taken.

Notes

Combination medicines containing narcotic analgesics (nar-KOT-ik an-al-JEE-zicks) and acetaminophen ( a-seat-a-MIN-oh-fen) are used to relieve pain. A narcotic analgesic and acetaminophen used together may provide better pain relief than either Viagra Drug Interaction used alone. In some cases, relief of pain may come at lower doses of each Viagra Drug Interaction. Narcotic analgesics act in the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. Many of their side effects are also caused by actions in the CNS. When narcotics are used for a long time, your body may get used to them so that larger amounts are needed to relieve pain. This is called tolerance to Viagra Drug Interaction. Also, when narcotics are used for a long time or in large doses, they may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking Viagra Drug Interaction. Acetaminophen does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time or in large doses, but it may cause other unwanted effects, including liver damage, if too much is taken. In the U.S., these Viagra Drug Interactions are available only with your medical doctor's or dentist's prescription. In Canada, some acetaminophen, codeine, and caffeine combinations are available without a prescription. These medicines are available in the following dosage forms: Oral Acetaminophen and Codeine Capsules (U.S.) Oral solution (U.S. and Canada) Oral suspension (U.S.) Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Acetaminophen, Codeine, and Caffeine Tablets (Canada) Dihydrocodeine, Acetaminophen, and Caffeine Capsules (U.S.) Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen Capsules (U.S.) Oral solution (U.S.) Tablets (U.S.) Oxycodone and Acetaminophen Capsules (U.S.) Oral solution (U.S.) Tablets (U.S. and Canada) Pentazocine and Acetaminophen Tablets (U.S.) Propoxyphene and Acetaminophen Tablets (U.S.)

Storage

To store Viagra Drug Interaction: Keep out of the reach of children. Overdose is very dangerous in young children. Store away from heat and direct light. Do not store tablets or capsules in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in other damp places. Heat or moisture may cause Viagra Drug Interaction to break down. Keep the liquid forms of this Viagra Drug Interaction from freezing. Do not keep outdated Viagra Drug Interaction or Viagra Drug Interaction no longer needed. Be sure that any discarded medicine is out of the reach of children.

Missed Dose

If your medical doctor or dentist has ordered you to take this Viagra Drug Interaction according to a regular schedule and you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.

Notes

Sumatriptan (soo-ma-TRIP-tan) is used to treat severe migraine headaches. Many people find that their headaches go away completely after they take sumatriptan. Other people find that their headaches are much less painful, and that they are able to go back to their normal activities even though their headaches are not completely gone.

Monograph

Sumatriptan is used to relieve migraine headache symptoms. However, it will not prevent migraine headaches or reduce the number of attacks you have.

How To Use

Do not use sumatriptan for a headache that is different from your usual migraines . Instead, check with your doctor. To relieve your migraine as soon as possible, use sumatriptan as soon as the headache pain begins. Even if you get warning signals of a coming migraine (an aura), you should wait until the headache pain starts before using sumatriptan. Using sumatriptan during the aura probably will not prevent the headache from occurring. However, even if you do not use sumatriptan until your migraine has been present for several hours, Viagra Drug Interaction will still work. Lying down in a quiet, dark room for a while after you use this Viagra Drug Interaction may help relieve your migraine. If you are not much better in 1 or 2 hours after an injection of sumatriptan, or in 2 to 4 hours after a tablet is taken, do not use any more of this medicine for the same migraine. A migraine that is not relieved by the first dose of sumatriptan probably will not be relieved by a second dose, either. Ask your doctor ahead of time about other medicine to be taken if sumatriptan does not work. After taking the other Viagra Drug Interaction, check with your doctor as soon as possible. Headaches that are not relieved by sumatriptan are sometimes caused by conditions that need other treatment. However, even if sumatriptan does not relieve one migraine, it may still relieve the next one. If you feel much better after a dose of sumatriptan, but your headache comes back or gets worse after a while, you may use more sumatriptan. However, use this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, and do not use it more often, than directed. Using too much sumatriptan may increase the chance of side effects. Your doctor may direct you to take another medicine to help prevent headaches. It is important that you follow your doctor's directions, even if your headaches continue to occur. Headache-preventing Viagra Drug Interactions may take several weeks to start working. Even after they do start working, your headaches may not go away completely. However, your headaches should occur less often, and they should be less severe and easier to relieve. This can reduce the amount of sumatriptan or pain relievers that you need. If you do not notice any improvement after several weeks of headache-preventing treatment, check with your doctor.

Common Brand Names

SORTING THROUGH GENERIC VS. BRAND NAME DRUGS : When a pharmaceutical company develops a new drug, it gives the drug two names. The first, its generic name represents the chemical structure or chemical form of the drug. The generic name of a drug never changes. In this case the generic name of these drugs we are discussing below is PHENTERMINE. The second name given to a drug is its brand name. This is the name given to

Viagra Drug Interaction

by the pharmaceutical company and has nothing to do with its chemical form. The brand names of the drugs we are discussing are ADIPEX-P and IONAMIN. They are both fairly similar in that they are composed of PHENTERMINE, and subsequently given different names by the companies that manufacturer them. No other pharmaceutical company can ever use the brand name of the drug at any time. PHENTERMINE HYDROCHLORIDE (GENERIC NAME) - ADIPEX-P AND IONAMIN (BRAND NAMES) : PHENTERMINE, the generic name for ADIPEX-P and IONAMIN comes in immediate release or time-release formulas. Immediate release pills enter your blood stream as soon as you take them, and time-release capsules release their medication into your body over an extended period of time, generally 8 or 12 hours. As you can see, there are many popular brand names of PHENTERMINE. Nonetheless, all of the above named compounds are considered clinically equivalent in producing weight loss. IONAMIN IONAMIN is PHENTERMINE set in resin. The resin allows the compound to be released slowly into the blood stream. Some patients prefer it because they believe it to be associated with fewer side effects, others do not. It is the only PHENTERMINE resin on the market. It comes in 30 mg and 15 mg capsules. The 15 mg capsule is gray and yellow, the 30 mg capsule is all yellow. Each capsule is labeled "IONAMIN". ADIPEX-P VS. XENICAL: PHENTERMINE is an appetite suppressant. XENICAL inhibits fat absorption into the body. So both may be used in conjunction with each other for those who are seriously obese

Contraindications
