How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Cancer treatment medications ( cabergoline) has an anti-dopamine effect and cancel out the effect.
• Antiparkinsonism medications (amantadine and bromocriptine) should not be used as they work against each other.
• Antidepressants (treat depression) such as imipramine or central nervous system stimulants, such as amphetamines can cause side effects such as urinary retention and breathing difficulty.
• Antacids or medication that treat indigestion and heartburn, such as magnesium, aluminium and calcium salts, oxides and hydroxides, when taken along with Largactil, can decrease absorption of Largactil. It should be given with at least a gap of 2 hours between each other.
• Cardiac medicines used to regulate heart rates such as amiodarone, disopyramide or quinidine, when used with Largactil, can increase the risk of further rhythm abnormalities.
• Medicines to control high blood pressure, such as ACE inhibitors (such as benazepril captopril) and calcium channel blockers (such as amlodipine and diltiazem), can cause increased effect of the medication and cause a significant drop in blood pressure.
• Anticonvulsants used to treat seizures such as carbamazepine, or phenobarbital can cause severe breathing difficulty.
