Puis-je prendre Lansoprazole et Tamsulosine ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid, and tamsulosin is an alpha-blocker used to help with urinary symptoms. They are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed or cleared from the body.

You can continue to take both medicines as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication, if you notice any new or unusual side effects, you should mention them to your GP or pharmacist.

Diarrhée sévère

Le lansoprazole peut augmenter votre risque d'infections intestinales graves. Si vous développez une diarrhée aqueuse sévère ou persistante, ou de la fièvre, contactez immédiatement votre médecin et ne prenez pas de médicament anti-diarrhéique.

Lupus (LES) ou réactions cutanées

Contactez votre médecin si vous développez une éruption cutanée, surtout dans les zones exposées au soleil, car le lansoprazole peut provoquer une réaction cutanée auto-immune rare mais grave.

Cataract or glaucoma surgery

If you are planning to have eye surgery, tell your surgeon you are taking tamsulosin. It can cause 'Floppy Iris Syndrome', which may lead to complications during the procedure.

Postural hypotension (dizziness when standing)

Tamsulosin can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you stand up, especially after the first dose. Sit or lie down until the feeling passes if you feel dizzy or faint.

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach irritation when taking lansoprazole. For tamsulosin, alcohol can increase the risk of feeling dizzy or faint, especially when you stand up, as both can lower your blood pressure.

Alimentation (Timing)

Lansoprazole works best if you take it at least 30 minutes before food. Taking it with or after food can make it less effective at reducing stomach acid.

Caféine (Café, Thé, Boissons Énergisantes)

Lansoprazole is often prescribed for acid reflux. Caffeine can trigger or worsen reflux symptoms by relaxing the muscle at the base of the food pipe, which may make your medicine less effective at managing your symptoms.
