Using Dolalgial with other medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medications, including those obtained without a prescription.

Certain medications may interact with Dolalgial, and it may be necessary to change the dose or discontinue treatment with one of the medications. Therefore, do not use them without consulting your doctor.

This is especially important in the case of:

• Lithium salts (used in the treatment of depression).
• Antihypertensives (medications used to treat high blood pressure).
• Diuretics (medications that increase urine production).
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

• Ticlopidine, heparin, and thrombolytics (medications that prevent blood clot formation).

Using Dolalgial with food, drinks, and alcohol

Do not take with alcohol, as it increases the risk of stomach ulcers.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.

Pregnancy:

Do not take Dolalgial during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.

This medication is contraindicated during the third trimester.

If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before taking this medication. Taking medications during pregnancy can be hazardous to the embryo or fetus and should be monitored by your doctor.

Breastfeeding:

It is not recommended to administer this medication to breastfeeding women, as clonixine lysine passes into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

During treatment, avoid situations that require a special state of alertness, such as driving vehicles or operating hazardous machinery, as clonixine lysine may decrease reaction capacity. Therefore, try not to perform tasks that require special attention until you know how you tolerate the medication.
