Major interactions (1)

  • Rivastigminecholinesterase inhibitorMajor

    Concomitant use with metoclopramide, beta-blockers, or cholinomimetic and anticholinergic drugs is not recommended ( 7.1 , 7.2 , 7.3 ) (Rivastigmine label, Drug interactions)

Moderate interactions (4)

  • CefpodoximecephalosporinModerate

    Oral anti-cholinergics (e.g., propantheline) delay peak plasma levels (47% increase in Tmax), but do not affect the extent of absorption (AUC). (Cefpodoxime label, Drug interactions)

  • ClozapineantipsychoticModerate

    Recurrence of Psychosis and Cholinergic Rebound after Abrupt Discontinuation of CLOZARIL If abrupt discontinuation of CLOZARIL is necessary (because of severe neutropenia or another medical condition, for example) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] , monitor carefully for the recurrence of psychotic symptoms and adverse… (Clozapine label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Donepezilcholinesterase inhibitorModerate

    Peptic Ulcer Disease and GI Bleeding Through their primary action, cholinesterase inhibitors may be expected to increase gastric acid secretion due to increased cholinergic activity. (Donepezil label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Galantaminecholinesterase inhibitorModerate

    Gastrointestinal Conditions Through their primary action, cholinomimetics may be expected to increase gastric acid secretion due to increased cholinergic activity. (Galantamine label, Warnings and precautions)

Minor mentions (2)

  • FluvoxamineSSRIMinor

    Five subjects experienced nausea, vomiting, sweating, and diarrhea following coadministration, consistent with the cholinergic effects of tacrine. (Fluvoxamine label, Drug interactions)
