Interaction with other drugs
If you are taking other medications, then before using Decamevit (dragees), you should consult your doctor and ask about their compatibility.
This remedy is not recommended to be taken together with similar vitamin preparations, as overdose symptoms may occur.
Vitamins A and E enhance each other's effects. The first reduces the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids. Vitamin A should not be taken together with nitrites and cholestyramine, as these substances impair the absorption of retinol.
Vitamin A is not used together with other retinoids, since this scheme of substance use is toxic.
Products containing iron can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin E. For this reason, α-tocopherol acetate is not prescribed together with drugs containing iron and silver and characterized by an alkaline environment. You cannot combine indirect anticoagulants with vitamin E. Alpha tocopherol acetate increases the effectiveness of non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Ascorbic acid increases the effect of sulfonamides and penicillin. Helps increase iron absorption. Reduces the effect of indirect anticoagulants and heparin. The absorption of vitamin C is reduced when using oral contraceptives.
Thiamine reduces the effect of levodopa, prevents and reduces toxic reactions that occur when using isoniazid and other anti-tuberculosis medications. Vitamin B6, acting on polarization in the area of neuromuscular synapses, reduces curare-like properties.
Vitamin B9 reduces the concentration of phenytoin in plasma. Folic acid in combination with antiepileptic drugs may affect the clinical effectiveness of the latter. They, in turn, reduce the effect of vitamin B9 on the body.
Riboflavin is not recommended for use with streptomycin. It reduces the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs. Tricyclic antidepressants, as well as amitriptyline and imipramine, suppress the metabolism of riboflavin, to a greater extent this manifests itself in the tissues of the heart.
Drug interactions
These vitamins should not be taken in combination with other multivitamin preparations, as this may lead to an overdose of the active ingredients.
You cannot combine vitamin A with retinoids - this combination is toxic.
Vitamins A and E are synergists (strengthen their mutual effect). Retinol reduces the effectiveness of glucocorticoids. Vitamin C enhances the effect of penicillin and sulfonamides, increases iron absorption, and reduces the effectiveness of heparin. When vitamin C is prescribed simultaneously with oral contraceptives, its absorption is reduced.
Iron supplements reduce the effectiveness of vitamin E, so it should not be prescribed together with silver, iron supplements, alkaline agents, or indirect anticoagulants.
Riboflavin should not be prescribed with Streptomycin. In addition, it reduces the effect of antibacterial drugs (Erythromycin, Oxytetracycline, Tetracycline and Doxycycline).
