What medications can cause problems if taken at the same time I take PHENTERPRIN HCL?
It is important that you inform your doctor about any medications you are taking before using Phenterprin. You should not take PHENTERPRIN HCL if you are taking prescription medicines in the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) category. It is especially important to make sure you tell your doctor if you are taking MAOIs which are sometimes used to treat depression or Parkinson’s Disease (for example: Eldepryl®, Nardil®, Parnate®). Many over-the-counter cough and cold remedies, as well as certain allergy products and decongestants, contain medicines such as phenylpropanolamine, ephedrine, or pseudoephedrine that may tend to increase blood pressure or heart rate. Before taking these medications on your own, you should check with your doctor to make sure it is safe to take these medicines if you are already taking PHENTERPRIN HCL.
