Drug Interaction Checker

Find out if your medicines are safe to take together.

  1. 1 Add each medicine you take: the brand on the box or the medicine inside it.
  2. 2 We check every pair, including each ingredient of combination medicines.
  3. 3 See what could happen and what to do, in plain language.

Take these together with care

We found interactions that usually need care rather than stopping a medicine. Your doctor may adjust a dose or check on you more often.

Sizaject Fosphenytoin Sodium Fluoxetine

Moderate

Fluoxetine is on the list of medicines that can raise the level of phenytoin in the blood. Fosphenytoin turns into phenytoin in the body, so taking the two together can push the phenytoin level higher than intended. The same leaflet lists many other medicines that can do this. They include acute alcohol intake, amiodarone, chloramphenicol, chlordiazepoxide, cimetidine, diazepam, dicumarol, disulfiram, estrogens, ethosuximide, H2-antagonists, halothane, isoniazid, methylphenidate, phenothiazines, phenylbutazone, salicylates, succinimides, sulfonamides, tolbutamide and trazodone.

What should I do?

These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?
Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.

Important: This checker lists interactions found in medicine leaflets and may not be complete. It does not know your dose, your health conditions, or food and supplement interactions. Never start, stop or change a medicine because of this tool alone: ask a registered doctor or pharmacist.
