Any Other Stimulants
Use caution when combining
Akavar with any other stimulant. It contains a large amount of caffeine, which can be dangerous when taken with other stimulants.
Cimetidine
Cimetidine may increase the level of caffeine (an active ingredient of Akavar) in the blood, perhaps increasing the risk of
Akavar side effects. Check with your healthcare provider before taking these substances together.
Clozapine
For some people, caffeine (a component of Akavar) can make psychotic symptoms worse. In addition, there is some evidence that caffeine may increase the level of
clozapine in your blood, which may lead to dangerous side effects. Check with your healthcare provider before combining these two substances.
Diabetes Medications
There is some evidence that caffeine (a component of Akavar) may affect blood sugar, although it is not clear how important this interaction may be. You may need to monitor your blood sugar more closely while taking Akavar.
Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics
Akavar contains a significant amount of caffeine, and fluoroquinolone antibiotics can increase the level of caffeine in your blood, perhaps increasing the risk of side effects. Also, the magnesium in Akavar may interact with these antibiotics, perhaps making them less effective. Check with your healthcare provider before combining these two substances.
Fluvoxamine
Fluvoxamine may increase the level of caffeine (an active ingredient of Akavar) in your blood, increasing your risk of Akavar side effects. Ask your healthcare provider about taking these substances together.
Mexiletine
Mexiletine may increase the level of caffeine (an active ingredient of Akavar) in the blood, which may increase the risk of side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before combining these two substances.
