Puis-je prendre des médicaments contre la toux contenant du Dextrométhorphane et de la Sertraline ensemble ?

You should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking dextromethorphan cough medicine et sertraline together. Combining them can increase the risk of syndrome sérotoninergique.

Pourquoi cela se produit

Sertraline is an SSRI antidepressant that increases serotonin levels. Dextromethorphan cough medicines also slightly increases serotonin. When combined, they can raise serotonin to unsafe levels.

Both medicines can also have a calming effect on the central nervous system, which may lead to increased sleepiness.

You may be experiencing an interaction between dextromethorphan and sertraline if you:

• Feel agitated, restless, or confused.

• Have a rapid heartbeat or high blood pressure.

• Are sweating heavily, are shivering, or have a fever.

• Have muscle twitches, stiffness, or a tremor.

• Feel dizzy or drowsy.

• Have a high temperature (fever).

If you develop any of the above symptoms, you should:

• Stop taking dextromethorphan and seek urgent medical advice.

• Do not take any further doses of dextromethorphan until you have spoken to a healthcare professional.

• Tell the healthcare professional that you are taking sertraline. They may suggest a different type of cough medicine that does not contain dextromethorphan (such as a simple linctus or a medicine containing only guaifenesin).

Dépressions et troubles anxieux

Vous pourriez ressentir une augmentation des pensées suicidaires ou de l'envie de vous faire du mal lorsque vous commencez la sertraline ou que vous modifiez la dose. Cela est plus fréquent chez les jeunes adultes de moins de 25 ans. Contactez immédiatement votre médecin ou rendez-vous à l'hôpital si vous remarquez des changements dans votre humeur ou votre comportement.

Bipolar disorder or history of mania

Sertraline can trigger a manic episode (extreme high mood and overactivity) in people with undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners

Sertraline can increase your risk of serious bleeding, especially if you are also taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood-thinning medications like warfarin.

Syndrome sérotoninergique

Check with a pharmacist before using cough suppressants with sertraline, as the combination can cause a life-threatening reaction called serotonin syndrome.

Alcool

You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking these medicines. Both sertraline and dextromethorphan can cause drowsiness and dizziness; alcohol will significantly increase these effects, making you feel more sleepy and less alert.

Jus de pamplemousse

Avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit juice. Grapefruit can increase the levels of sertraline in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects.

Caféine (Café, Thé, Boissons Énergisantes)

La sertraline peut parfois provoquer de la nervosité ou des tremblements. Consommer de grandes quantités de caféine peut aggraver ces effets secondaires ou augmenter les sensations d'anxiété. Il est conseillé de surveiller votre consommation de caféine.
