Duralgina Fuerte interactions
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you take this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.
You should not take other medicines that contain Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) in combination with this medicine, as this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte). Many cold and flu remedies and over-the-counter painkillers contain Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte), so be sure to check the ingredients of any other medicines before taking them with this one. Duralgina Fuerte yellow can be taken four hours after taking Duralgina Fuerte pink if you still have a migraine, but make sure you do not exceed the maximum dose recommended in the information leaflet.
This medicine should be used with caution in people taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), for example the antidepressants phenelzine, tranylcypromine or isocarboxacid. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine if you have taken an MAOI in the last 14 days.
Cholestyramine reduces the absorption of Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) from the gut. It should not be taken within an hour of taking Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) or the effect of the Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) will be reduced.
Metoclopramide and domperidone may increase the absorption of Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) from the gut.
Long-term or regular use of Paracetamol (Duralgina Fuerte) may increase the anti-blood-clotting effect of warfarin and other anticoagulant medicines, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. This effect does not occur with occasional painkilling doses. If you are taking an anticoagulant medicine and you are also taking Duralgina Fuerte regularly, your blood clotting time (INR) should be regularly monitored.
