Can I take Qutan and Valparin chrono together?

Warum das passiert

Both medicines affect the central nervous system, leading to an 'additive' effect where the sedative properties of both are strengthened. Additionally, Valparin Chrono can interfere with the liver enzymes that break down Qutan, potentially altering its concentration in the body.

You must speak to your doctor before taking these together. They may need to perform regular blood tests to check your liver function and blood cell counts. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this combination affects you. Seek medical advice if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bruising, or extreme tiredness.

Schwangerschaft

This medicine will seriously harm an unborn baby. It must not be used by girls or women of childbearing age unless a specialist Pregnancy Prevention Programme (PPP) is in place. You must use highly effective contraception and have regular pregnancy tests.

Suizidgedanken und -verhalten

These medicines can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or self-harm, particularly when first starting treatment. You or your carers must monitor for any sudden changes in mood or behaviour and seek medical help immediately if they occur.

Liver or Pancreas disorders

Seek urgent medical attention if you develop severe stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unexplained vomiting, as these can be signs of life-threatening liver failure or pancreatitis.

Alkohol

Drinking alcohol while taking this medicine can make you feel very sleepy and dizzy. It is best to avoid alcohol, especially when you first start treatment or if your dose is increased.

Grapefruitsaft

You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice. It can increase the amount of quetiapine in your blood, which makes side effects more likely.
