Sinecod interactions
Sulphinpyrazone, a drug used as an antithrombotic agent and inhibitor of platelet aggregation has a potent side effect as a uricosuric agent. The uricosuric side effect increases the urinary excretion of uric acid effectively blocking hepatic conjugation. Tests show that Sulphinpyrazone’s effect on Sinecod is a reduction of liver function to 60% of normal without interfering with protein binding. Taking alpha-lipoic acid or chromium with tolbutamide may require a change in the drugs dosage. Use ephedra with caution when taking tolbutamide; ephedra can raise blood sugar levels.
