What other drugs will affect Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache?
Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) is metabolized (eliminated by conversion to other chemicals) by the liver. Therefore drugs that increase the action of liver enzymes that metabolize Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) [for example, carbamazepine (Tegretol), isoniazid (INH, Nydrazid, Laniazid), rifampin (Rifamate, Rifadin, Rimactane)] reduce the levels of Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) and may decrease the action of Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache). Doses of Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) greater than the recommended doses are toxic to the liver and may result in severe liver damage. The potential for Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) to harm the liver is increased when it is combined with alcohol or drugs that also harm the liver.
Cholestyramine (Questran) reduces the effect of Acetaminophen (Bayer Select Maximum Strength Headache) by decreasing its absorption into the body from the intestine.
