Precautions To Be Taken Before Binex
Antacids containing aluminum for example Mylanta Maalox Gelusil Amphojel Alternagel reduce the amount of Isoniazid that is absorbed from the intestine and this can result in reduced blood levels and effect of Isoniazid If aluminumcontaining antacids must be taken they should be taken at least one hour after the Isoniazid to prevent binding Isoniazid can increase the effectiveness of the blood thinner warfarin Coumadin by interfering with the enzyme in the liver that eliminates warfarin Isoniazid can increase the effect of certain benzodiazepines such as diazepam Valium triazolam Halcion and others by interfering with the enzymes in the liver that eliminate benzodiazepines This may result in excessive sedation Carbamazepine Tegretol taken at the same time as isoniazid can result in an increased risk of side effects from both carbamazepine and isoniazid Isoniazid can decrease the rate at which the liver eliminates phenytoin Dilantin which can raise the blood levels and result in side effects of phenytoin Because rifampin can be toxic to the liver the use of rifampin and Isoniazid together increases the risk of liver toxicity to a level that is greater than with either drug alone
