Drug Interactions between deserpidine and MHP-A

If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with methylene blue, initiating deserpidine may cause high blood pressure and nervous system stimulation. You should generally wait at least 14 days after you are off methylene blue before you start using deserpidine. On the other hand, the interaction may not occur if you have been receiving deserpidine and are starting treatment with methylene blue. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden and severe headache, blurred vision, confusion, seizures, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body), speech difficulties, fever, sweating, lightheadedness, and/or fainting during treatment with these medications, as these may be signs and symptoms of excessively high blood pressure. 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.
