Can I take Naproxen and Quinine together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Naproxen is an NSAID that thins the blood slightly by affecting platelets and can irritate the stomach lining. Quinine can also lower platelet counts in some people, leading to an additive effect on bleeding risk. Both drugs have the potential to affect the electrical activity of the heart (prolonging the QT interval), though this is rare at standard doses.

Use this combination with caution. If you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart rhythm problems, or bleeding disorders, speak to your doctor before taking them together. Seek medical advice if you notice unusual bruising, black tarry stools, or if you feel dizzy or notice a fluttering sensation in your chest.

Asthme

Ne prenez pas de naproxène si vous souffrez d'asthme sensible à l'aspirine ou à d'autres AINS, car cela peut déclencher une crise d'asthme potentiellement mortelle ou de graves difficultés respiratoires.

Ulcères d'estomac ou saignements

Naproxen can cause serious stomach ulcers and internal bleeding. This risk is higher if you have had ulcers before, are over 65, or take other blood-thinning medicines. Stop taking it and see a doctor immediately if you have black, tarry stools or vomit blood.

Blood disorders (Thrombocytopenia)

Quinine can cause a severe drop in platelets (thrombocytopenia), leading to dangerous internal bleeding. Stop taking it immediately if you notice unusual bruising or small purple spots on your skin.

Troubles du rythme cardiaque

Quinine can cause serious, potentially fatal heart rhythm problems. Avoid if you have a history of 'long QT syndrome' or take other medicines that affect heart rhythm.

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or hearing loss

Quinine can cause permanent hearing damage or worsen existing tinnitus. Stop taking the medicine immediately if you notice any changes to your hearing or ringing in your ears.

Grossesse

Quinine must be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, as high doses can cause birth defects or miscarriage. It should only be used for malaria if the benefits outweigh the risks to the baby.

Grossesse (troisième trimestre)

Ne prenez pas de naproxène si vous êtes enceinte de plus de 20 semaines. Cela peut provoquer de graves problèmes rénaux ou cardiaques chez le bébé à naître et peut entraîner des complications lors de l'accouchement.

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking naproxen. Both alcohol and naproxen can irritate the lining of your stomach; combining them significantly increases your risk of developing stomach ulcers or internal bleeding.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking quinine. Both alcohol and quinine can affect your heart rhythm and cause dizziness; combining them may increase these risks.

Jus de pamplemousse

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking quinine. Grapefruit contains compounds that can increase the level of quinine in your blood, which makes side effects much more likely and potentially more serious.

Nourriture (Général)

Vous devriez prendre de l'ibuprofène naproxène avec un repas ou juste après un repas ou une collation. Cela aide à protéger la muqueuse de votre estomac et réduit le risque de dyspepsie ou de douleurs d'estomac.
