Puis-je prendre Amitriptyline et Esomeprazole ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Amitriptyline is broken down in the liver by specific proteins (enzymes). Esomeprazole can slow down the activity of these proteins, which means the amitriptyline stays in your system longer and reaches higher levels than intended.

You can take these medicines together, but you should be aware of the potential for increased side effects. If you feel unusually drowsy, dizzy, or notice your heart racing, speak to your doctor. They may decide to adjust your dose of amitriptyline.

Idées et comportements suicidaires

Amitriptyline can increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide, particularly when first starting treatment or changing doses. Seek immediate medical help if your mood changes or you have distressing thoughts.

Glaucoma (specifically acute angle-closure glaucoma

Do not take amitriptyline if you have a history of narrow-angle glaucoma, as it can cause a sudden, dangerous increase in eye pressure.

Severe bacterial diarrhoea (C. difficile)

Esomeprazole reduces stomach acid, which can increase your risk of serious gut infections. Seek medical advice if you develop severe or persistent watery diarrhoea, stomach pain, and fever.

Alcool

Boire de l'alcool pendant que vous prenez de l'amitriptyline peut vous rendre très somnolent et instable sur vos pieds. Il est préférable d'éviter l'alcool, surtout lorsque vous commencez le traitement ou si votre dose est augmentée.

Caféine (Café, Thé, Boissons Énergisantes)

Amitriptyline can sometimes cause a fast or irregular heartbeat. High intake of caffeine can worsen these side effects and may also interfere with the sedative effect of the medicine.
