Interactions between your drugs
chlorpheniramine mavorixafor
Applies to: Tusscough DHC (chlorpheniramine / dihydrocodeine / phenylephrine) and mavorixafor
Coadministration of mavorixafor with chlorpheniramine is not recommended. Mavorixafor is a strong inhibitor of a pathway the body uses to process chlorpheniramine. In most cases this pathway is used to eliminate the medication, so blocking this pathway could lead to a significant increase in side effects. In some cases, this pathway is used to activate the medication (e.G., codeine), so blocking this pathway would make such medications less effective in treating your condition. Speak with your doctor or healthcare provider if you have any questions. 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.

chlorpheniramine dihydrocodeine
Applies to: Tusscough DHC (chlorpheniramine / dihydrocodeine / phenylephrine) and Tusscough DHC (chlorpheniramine / dihydrocodeine / phenylephrine)
Using chlorpheniramine together with dihydrocodeine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you.

Drug and food interactions
mavorixafor food
Applies to: mavorixafor
Mavorixafor should be taken on an empty stomach after an overnight fast, 30 minutes before food. Do not consume grapefruit products during treatment with mavorixafor unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels and adverse effects of mavorixafor, increasing the risk of experiencing a change in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation, which can result in irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience an irregular heartbeat or feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint during treatment. Speak with your doctor or healthcare provider if you have any questions. 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.
chlorpheniramine food
Applies to: Tusscough DHC (chlorpheniramine / dihydrocodeine / phenylephrine)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of chlorpheniramine 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 chlorpheniramine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of chlorpheniramine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
phenylephrine food
Applies to: Tusscough DHC (chlorpheniramine / dihydrocodeine / phenylephrine)
Both phenylephrine and caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and combining them may enhance these effects. Talk to your doctor before using these medications, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
