In particular, do not take Bonjesta and inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • Anticholinergics such as antidepressants or medicines for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOIs (treatment for depression), antipsychotics (medicines for the treatment of mental disorders), atropine for the treatment of spasms or disopyramide (for the treatment of certain heart problems) as these may increase toxicity.

  • Some diuretics (medicines that increase urine elimination).
  • Medicines with an effect on the heart, such as those used for the treatment of arrhythmias (heart rhythm problems), some antibiotics, certain antimalarials, certain antihistamines, certain medicines used to reduce lipids (fats) in the blood, or certain neuroleptics (medicines for the treatment of mental disorders).

  • Levodopa, as the pyridoxine contained in this medicine may decrease its effect.
  • Medicines for the treatment of epilepsy (phenobarbital, phenytoin), as pyridoxine may decrease their levels in the blood.
  • Medicines such as hydroxyzine, isoniazid, or penicillamine, as along with pyridoxine, they may increase the need for Vitamin B6.
