- If you are taking antidepressants such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) as Nuperal may intensify and extend adverse events on the nervous system.
- Ifyou are taking a potent inhibitor of the CYP450 isoenzyme.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Nuperal.
Before taking this medicine, you should consult a doctor if you suffer from:
- Glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
- Peptic ulcer (lesion of the mucous membrane lining the stomach or the first part of the intestine with contraction of the digestive tract), pyloroduodenal obstruction (difficulty in the passage of food from the stomach to the intestine) or bladder neck obstruction (urinary tract dysfunction), urinary obstruction (difficulty urinating).
- Thyroid dysfunction.
- Heart disease and high blood pressure as Nuperal may worsen this condition.
- Long QT syndrome (heart condition).
- Asthma and other respiratory problems such as chronic bronchitis (persistent inflammation of the bronchi) and pulmonary emphysema (lung condition that makes breathing difficult) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as Nuperal may worsen this condition.
- Kidney and/or liver diseases.
- Epilepsy, as Nuperal may worsen this condition.
- Low levels of potassium in the blood or other electrolyte imbalances.
Nuperal may increase sensitivity to light, so it is not recommended to sunbathe during the
treatment.
Nuperal may mask symptoms related to the auditory system (such as dizziness and vertigo); it is therefore recommended
to consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines with the same effects.
Do not drink alcohol during treatment.
Nuperal may increase dehydration and cause heatstroke due to increased
sweating.
After taking Nuperal you may feel drowsy. If this happens, do not perform other activities that
may require full attention, unless your doctor tells you that you can.
Children and adolescents
No data are available on the safety and efficacy of Nuperal in subjects under 18 years of
age.
Other medicines and Nuperal
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any
other medicines.
Nuperal should not be taken at the same time as the following medicines:
- Anticholinergics such as antidepressants or medicines for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOIs (for the treatment of depression), antipsychotics (medicines for the treatment of mental disorders), atropine for the treatment of spasms or disopyramide (for the treatment of some heart problems) as it may increase their toxicity.
- Central nervous system depressants (e.g. barbiturates, hypnotics, sedatives, anxiolytics, opioid analgesics, antipsychotics or procarbazine).
- Medicines for lowering blood pressure (for controlling blood pressure) that have an effect on the central nervous system such as guanabenz, clonidine or alpha-methyldopa.
- If you are taking other medicines with a toxic effect on the auditory system such as carboplatin or cisplatin (for the treatment of tumors), chloroquine (for malaria prophylaxis and treatment), and some antibiotics (medicines for the treatment of infections) such as erythromycin or aminoglycosides administered intravenously, to name a few, as Nuperal may mask the toxic effects of these medicines; in this case, periodic checks on the auditory system are necessary.
- Medicines that reduce the elimination of other active ingredients such as azole derivatives or macrolides, as they may potentiate the effect of Nuperal.
- Some diuretics (medicines that stimulate increased urine production).
- Medicines that can have an effect on the heart such as those used for the treatment of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), some antibiotics, some medicines for the treatment of malaria, some antihistamines, some medicines used to reduce lipids (fats) in the blood or some neuroleptics (medicines for the treatment of mental disorders).
- Medicines with a photosensitizing effect (increased skin reactivity in case of exposure to sunlight) such as some antiarrhythmics (amiodarone, quinidine), some antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones azithromycin and erythromycin among others), some antidepressants (imipramine, doxepin, amitriptyline), some antifungals (griseofulvin), antihistamines (promethazine, chlorphenamine and diphenhydramine, among others), some anti-inflammatory agents (piroxicam and naproxen, among others), some antivirals (amantadine, ganciclovir), some diuretics (furosemide, chlorothiazide) as it may cause an additional photosensitizing effect.
- Levodopa as the pyridoxine contained in Nuperal may reduce its effect.
- Medicines for the treatment of epilepsy (phenobarbital, phenytoin) as pyridoxine may reduce their levels in the blood.
- Medicines such as hydroxyzine, isoniazid or penicillamine, as their combination with pyridoxine may cause vitamin B6 deficiency.
