Mobillek and other medicines
The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Mobillek should not be used concurrently with anti-arrhythmic medications, central nervous system depressants, or alcohol.
The medicine should not be used concurrently with atropine, tricyclic antidepressants, catecholamine amines, or central nervous system depressants, such as sleeping pills or sedatives, as Mobillek enhances their effects.
Dimenhydrinate enhances the effects of other anticholinergic medications, such as atropine or tricyclic antidepressants. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs, antidepressants) may enhance the antihistamine and sedative effects of dimenhydrinate.
Mobillek used with bismuth salts and painkillers, psychotropic medications, and scopolamine may cause transient visual impairment (impairment of dark vision and color vision).
Mobillek reduces the effects of corticosteroids and oral anticoagulants.
Dimenhydrinate in combination with blood pressure-lowering medications may enhance their hypotensive effects.
Particular caution is advised when using dimenhydrinate with medications that prolong the QT interval in the ECG (some anti-arrhythmic medications, some antibiotics, e.g., erythromycin, antimalarial medications, antihistamines, neuroleptics) and medications that reduce potassium levels in the serum (e.g., some diuretics).
It is recommended to avoid combining Mobillek with ototoxic medications (harmful to hearing), such as aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Administration of Mobillek should be discontinued at least three days before scheduled allergy tests, due to the possibility of obtaining false-negative results.
