  • antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide, with kolestiraminom slightly decreases absorption of Entizol from the gastrointestinal tract;
  • Entizol potentiates the effect of indirect anticoagulants;
  • disulfiram may develop acute psychosis and impaired consciousness;
  • lansoprazole possible glossitis, stomatitis and / or the appearance of dark color language; with lithium carbonate - may increase the concentration of lithium in blood plasma and the development of symptoms of intoxication with prednisone - increased excretion of Entizol from the body by accelerating its metabolism in the liver under the influence of prednisone. It is possible a decrease the effectiveness of Entizol AA Pharma.
  • rifampicin increased the clearance of Entizol from the body, with phenytoin - it is perhaps a slight increase in the concentration of phenytoin in blood plasma, described the case of toxic action;
  • phenobarbital significantly increased excretion of Entizol from the body, apparently due to acceleration of its metabolism in the liver under the influence of phenobarbital. It is possible a decrease the effectiveness of Entizol AA Pharma;
  • fluorouracil enhanced the toxic effect but not the effectiveness of fluorouracil;
  • cimetidine may inhibit the metabolism of Entizol in the liver that can lead to slow its elimination and increase the concentration in blood plasma. It can not be excluded the increase in the concentration of carbamazepine in plasma and increased risk of toxicity with concomitant use of Entizol AA Pharma. There was described a case of acute dystonia after a single dose of chloroquine in patients treated with Entizol.
