Drug interactions?
6 Answers
My friend is taking penicillin for a chest infection and she happened to say that if I had a similar infection (because I take mediation to lower my blood pressure) what would the doctor prescribe for me? I take 32mg of Amias . Is this medication not compatible with antibiotics - or is she wrong? I can't find anything on the internet to suggest there is a problem. Perhaps Sqad could clear this one up for me?
Also - on reading the leaflet just now, it states that non-steroidal anti-inflammatories may interact with Amias. Oops - I took some Ibuprofen this morning!

Because information on the internet and in instructions in the box, it doesn't mean that the drugs WILL interact in a deleterious manner.
Blood pressure tablets and antibiotics are compatible in 99.9% of cases.
We are all getting wound up in this "drug interaction frenzy"
