Adipex Drug Interactions

When certain medications, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants, are taken together with Adipex, drug interactions may occur. These negative interactions could increase the level of Adipex in your blood and possibly lead to dangerous side effects. Alcohol, diabetes medications, and other weight-loss drugs may also cause Adipex interactions.
