Reparil may enhance the effect of anticoagulant medicines.
Concomitant use of Reparil with aminoglycoside antibiotics should be avoided due to the potential increased toxic effect of these antibiotics on the kidneys.
Antibiotics such as cefalotin and ampicillin may increase the concentration of escin in serum, so it is not recommended to administer these medicines with Reparil.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Due to the lack of studies in pregnant women and insufficient animal data, Reparil should not be used in pregnant women.
Due to the lack of data on the passage of escin into breast milk, Reparil should not be used in breastfeeding women.
