This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- By-Ache (acetaminophen/phenyltoloxamine/salicylamide)
- methotrexate
Interactions between your drugs
methotrexate salicylamide
Applies to: methotrexate and By-Ache (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
Salicylamide may increase the blood levels and side effects of methotrexate. You may be more likely to experience this interaction if you have kidney disease or are receiving a high dose of methotrexate. The risk may be less if you are using methotrexate once a week to treat certain forms of arthritis. Depending on your situation, you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of potentially serious side effects of methotrexate such as mouth ulcers or sores; vomiting; diarrhea; rash; loss of appetite; joint pain or swelling; yellow discoloration of skin and eyes; dark urine; shortness of breath; dry cough; paleness; dizziness or fainting; unusual bruising or bleeding; seizures; infection; and flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, muscle weakness). 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.
acetaminophen methotrexate
Applies to: By-Ache (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide) and methotrexate
Methotrexate may cause liver problems, and using it with other medications that can also affect the liver such as acetaminophen may increase that risk. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Call your doctor immediately if you have fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, pale stools, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may be signs and symptoms of liver damage. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
Drug and food interactions
acetaminophen food

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns or are uncertain what products may contain caffeine.
phenyltoloxamine food
Applies to: By-Ache (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of phenyltoloxamine such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with phenyltoloxamine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of phenyltoloxamine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
