Drug Interactions

1. This product has little effect on the liver metabolism and body clearance of theophylline drugs and caffeine. 2. Sucralfate and antacids can slow down the absorption rate of this product by 25%, and reduce the area under the curve (AUC) by about 30%. If sucralfate and antacids are taken 4 hours before or 6 hours after taking this product, the effect will be minimal. 3. Combination with fenbufen can cause central excitation and epileptic seizures. 4. Probenecid can delay the excretion of this product, increase the average area under the curve (AUC) by 63%, extend the average peak time (tmax) by 50%, and increase the average peak concentration (Cmax) by 4%; therefore, when used together, toxicity may occur due to the increased blood concentration of this product. 5. It can enhance the effects of oral anticoagulants such as warfarin, and the prothrombin time and other items should be monitored. 6. Urine alkalinizers can reduce the solubility of this product in urine, leading to crystalluria and nephrotoxicity. 7.
