These medications may be given together to treat certain infections. If these drugs must be given together, take the Penicillin first. Watch for signs that the Penicillin is not working, like symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, pain, and fatigue that do not go away.
Minor
penicillin
+ phenytoin
Phenytoin may increase the amount of Penicillin G, an antibiotic, in the blood stream. In some cases, nausea, vomiting, numbness, tingling, unusual bleeding or brusing, or other side effects of Penicillin G may occur. Contact your health care provider if you experience any of these side effects. If you start taking Penicillin G, let your health care professional know that you are also taking Phenytoin.
Minor
naproxen-pseudoephedrine
+ multivitamin, prenatal

Minor
amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole
+ multivitamin, prenatal
Proton Pump Inhibitors (also known as PPIs, like Prilosec, Nexium, AcipHex, and others) may decrease the actions of Cyanocobalamin, Vitamin B12, by decreasing how much your body absorbs from the stomach. In general, discuss your vitamin therapy with your health care provider. If you experience symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency such as weakness, fatigue, numbness, tingling in fingers and toes, decreased appetite, diarrhea, hair loss, or depression, talk to your health care prescriber. Discuss if supplements would be appropriate for you and which ones to take with your health care provider.
Minor
amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole
+ diclofenac-misoprostol
While these drugs may occasionally be used together, Misoprostol may reduce the effectiveness of Proton Pump Inhibitors. The significance of the interaction is not certain. Let your prescriber know if your stomach symptoms (heartburn, reflux, stomach pain) do not seem to be improving.
Minor
amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole
+ phenytoin
Phenytoin may increase the amount of Penicillin G, an antibiotic, in the blood stream. In some cases, nausea, vomiting, numbness, tingling, unusual bleeding or brusing, or other side effects of Penicillin G may occur.

Minor
efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir
+ diclofenac-misoprostol
Although an interaction is possible, these drugs are sometimes used together. Side effects from Diclofenac may get worse if you take Efavirenz. Discuss any new or worsening side effects including stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, vomiting or serious side effects such as ulcers with your health care provider.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ phenytoin
Phenytoin may result in impaired Folate status, although, data are not conclusive. Check with your doctor before taking high dosages of folic acid supplements daily; ask your doctor or pharmacist which supplements might be appropriate for you. Although Folic Acid, Vitamin B{9} and Phenytoin can interact, this is only a concern at high doses (greater than 4 mg/day) of Folic acid. At high doses, Folic Acid may decrease the effectiveness of Phenytoin. However, Folic acid doses of less than or equal to 1 mg/day are thought to be safe.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ phenytoin
Large and consistent daily doses (greater than 80 mg per day) of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) might cause alterations (decreases) in phenytoin blood levels, which could change seizure control. This interaction is not thought to be common, but patients should check with their health care professional prior to taking high-dose dietary supplements
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ triamcinolone
Although an interaction is possible, these drugs are often used together. Regularly follow up with your health care provider to monitor your condition. An interaction is less likely with topical forms of Corticosteroids.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ triamcinolone
Although an interaction is possible, these drugs are often used together. Although an interaction is possible, Corticosteroids and Potassium Salts are often used together. Taking Potassium Salts and Corticosteroids together can occasionally increase the level of potassium in the blood. If the potassium level is too high, you may experience muscle weakness or an abnormal heart rhythm. If you experience extreme muscle weakness, chest pain, pounding heartbeat, or an unusually fast or slow heart beat, contact your health care provider immediately. While taking Potassium Supplements, your prescriber may order a blood test to check the level of potassium in your blood. DO NOT take other potassium supplements unless they are prescribed for you by your health care provider.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ ethinyl estradiol-levonorgestrel
Although an interaction is possible, these drugs are often used together. Common side effects of Ethinyl estradiol, like nausea, may get worse if you take high doses of Vitamin C, but these interactions are not common nor are they thought to be harmful.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ Enteral Feedings
Most iron supplements do not significantly interact with Enteral Feedings. However, Ferrous Sulfate syrups and elixirs, when given at the same time as Enteral feedings (examples: Boost, Ensure, Jevity, Sustical and others) may cause a thickening of the feeding that may increase the likelyhood of a tube clog. Such interactions are not common. However, to avoid this interaction, ferrous sulfate elixirs at least an hour before taking any nutritional supplement beverages down a tube. Alternatively, your health care professional may be able to recommend an iron supplement that would be less likely to interact.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ Alcohol
If you regularly drink alcohol-containing drinks, you may have a lack of certain B-vitamins including Cyanocobalamin, Vitamin B12 . Discuss which supplements would be most appropriate for you with your health care provider. If you experience weakness, fatigue, numbness, tingling in fingers and toes, decreased appetite, diarrhea, hair loss, or depression, contact your health care prescriber.
Minor
multivitamin, prenatal
+ Food
Food interactions with Cyanocobalamin are for the most part insignificant. However, if you use the intranasal Cyanocobalamin supplements (Nascobal), you should avoid drinking hot liquids or eating very hot foods within 1 hour before or after using the nasal spray or gel. Hot foods/liquids can make the nose runny, which can limit the amount of vitamin absorbed thru the nose.
Minor
zolmitriptan
+ ethinyl estradiol-levonorgestrel
Birth control pills may increase the actions of some migraine drugs like Amerge, Axert, Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax and Zomig.

Notify your prescriber should you experience increased chest tightness or pressure, dizziness, drowsiness, excessive dry mouth, excessive nausea/vomiting, palpitations, or muscle pain, tingling, or weakness.
Minor
secobarbital
+ Caffeine-containing Foods/Beverages
Barbiturates are commonly used for sedation, seizures or for sleep and include drugs like Amytal, Buticaps, Mysoline, Nembutal, Phenobarbital, and Seconal. Caffeine may cause sleeplessness, so if you are taking a barbiturate to help you sleep, you may wish to avoid taking caffeine and caffeine-containing foods like colas, coffee, teas, or chocolates within several hours prior to bedtime. Barbiturates may also decrease the actions of Caffeine; if you have a high intake of caffeinated foods or beverages you may experience a headache or irritability from decreased caffeine levels while taking these drugs until your body adjusts. If you take Caffeine for other purposes, notify your health care provider if you think Caffeine is not working as well for you.
Minor
ethinyl estradiol-levonorgestrel
+ multivitamin, prenatal
