Drug Interactions
Masks ototoxicity produced by aminoglycosides. Increases gastric degradation of levodopa and decreases its absorption by reduction of gastric emptying. Antagonises therapeutic effects of cholinergic agents e.g. tacrine, donezepil and neuroleptics. Valerian, St. John's wort, Kava Kava and gotu kola may increase CNS depression.
