  • Medicines from the anticholinergic group (e.g., some medicines used for relief of stomach, intestine, or bladder spasms or contractions)
  • Medicines used for the treatment of depression, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants, or maprotiline.
  • If skin allergy tests need to be performed, it is recommended to discontinue the administration of Fluidasa Capsules at least 72 hours before starting the test, as it may give false-negative results (negative results that are actually positive).
