Drug Interactions between Alumadrine and isoniazid

Ask your doctor before using acetaminophen together with ethanol (alcohol). This can cause serious side effects that affect your liver. Call your doctor immediately if you experience a fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, excessive tiredness or weakness, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash or itching, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. 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.

Food can decrease the levels of isoniazid in your body. Taking isoniazid on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal) will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking isoniazid because alcohol use may increase the risk of damage to your liver and your risk of experiencing a condition known as peripheral neuropathy (i.E., weakness, numbness, and pain typically in the hands and feet). Your doctor may advise you to take a vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) supplement during your treatment to help prevent peripheral neuropathy. Isoniazid may interact with foods containing histamine or tyramine (e.G., aged cheese, cured meats such as sausages and salami, fava beans, sauerkraut, soy sauce, beer, red wine, skipjack, tuna, mackerel, salmon), which can cause symptoms like headache, sweating, flushing, palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint. These foods should generally be avoided. It is important to seek immediate medical care if you experience any severe side effects or symptoms of liver damage such as fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes. 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.
