    DOSE IN RENAL IMPAIRMENT <\/H3>

    GFR (mL\/MIN)<\/H4>
  • 20 to 50 &nbsp &nbsp : Dose as in normal renal function
  • 10 to 20 &nbsp &nbsp : Dose as in normal renal function
  • <10 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp : Dose as in normal renal function

    IMPORTANT DRUG INTERACTIONS <\/H3> Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs\n
  • Alcohol: increased sedative effect\n
  • Analgesics: increased risk of CNS toxicity with tramadol; possibly increased risk of side effects with nefopam; possibly increased sedative effects with opioids\n
  • Anti-arrhythmics: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias with amiodarone \u2013 avoid concomitant use; increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias with drugs that prolong the QT interval; increased risk of arrhythmias with propafenone\n
  • Antibacterials: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias with moxifloxacin \u2013 avoid concomitant use; concentration reduced by rifampicin\n
  • Anticoagulants: may alter anticoagulant effect of coumarins\n
  • Antidepressants: enhanced CNS excitation and hypertension with MAOIs and moclobemide \u2013 avoid concomitant use; concentration possibly increased with SSRIs\n
  • Anti-epileptics: convulsive threshold lowered; concentration reduced by carbamazepine, primidone, barbiturates and possibly phenytoin\n
  • Antimalarials: avoid concomitant use with artemether\/lumefantrine\n
  • Antipsychotics: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias especially with pimozide; increased antimuscarinic effects with clozapine and phenothiazines; concentration increased by antipsychotics\n
  • Antivirals: increased tricyclic side effects with amprenavir; concentration possibly increased with ritonavir\n
  • Atomoxetine: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and possibly convulsions\n
  • Beta-blockers: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias with sotalol\n
  • Clonidine: tricyclics antagonise hypotensive effect; increased risk of hypertension on clonidine withdrawal\n
  • Dopaminergics: avoid use with entacapone; CNS toxicity reported with selegiline and rasagiline\n
  • Pentamidine: increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias\n
  • Sibutramine: increased risk of CNS toxicity \u2013 avoid concomitant use\n
  • Sympathomimetics: increased risk of hypertension and arrhythmias with adrenaline and noradrenaline; metabolism possibly inhibited by methylphenidate
