Akineton Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Akineton is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Medications
Taking Akineton with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor can make both medications less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely and adjust your dose of these medications to prevent drug interactions from occurring.
Anticholinergic Drugs
Combining an anticholinergic medication with Akineton (which is also an anticholinergic medication) can increase your risk of
Akineton side effects, such as:
Antipsychotics
Combining Akineton with
antipsychotic medications may reduce the effectiveness of the antipsychotic medications. Also, it can increase the risk of certain side effects, such as an intestinal blockage or heat
stroke. When using such medications together, make sure to watch for any signs of an intestinal blockage (especially severe constipation) or heat stroke.
Pramlintide
Both
pramlintide and anticholinergic medications (including Akineton) can slow down the movement of food through the digestive tract. Therefore, taking them together can increase the risk of constipation or nausea. Talk with your healthcare provider before combining these medications.
Tricyclic Antidepressants
Combining Akineton with a
tricyclic antidepressant can increase the risk of certain side effects, such as an intestinal blockage or heat stroke. When using such medications together, make sure to watch for any signs of an intestinal blockage (especially severe constipation) or heat stroke.
