GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol and apomorphine may have additive hypotensive and sedative effects. Coadministration of 0.6 or 0.3 g/kg of ethanol with apomorphine in healthy subjects resulted in greater decreases in blood pressure compared to apomorphine alone. The mean largest decrease (the mean of each subject's largest drop in blood pressure measured within 6 hours after apomorphine administration) in standing systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 6.7 and 8.4 mmHg, respectively, with apomorphine alone. When coadministered with 0.6 g/kg of ethanol (equivalent to approximately 3 standardized alcohol-containing beverages), the mean largest decrease in standing systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 11.3 and 12.6 mmHg, respectively (standing systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by as much as 61 and 51 mmHg, respectively, in this group). When coadministered with 0.3 g/kg of ethanol, the mean largest decrease in standing systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 8.4 and 7.1 mmHg, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol during apomorphine treatment.
sulfamethoxazole food
Applies to: sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim
Ask your doctor before using sulfamethoxazole together with ethanol. Contact your doctor if you experience unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, or vomiting. If you experience these side effects, you may need to avoid ethanol while taking sulfamethoxazole. You should check your food and medicine labels to see if these products contain ethanol. 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.
