Can cymbalta, Famotodine, benedryl, hydroxizine or magnesium increase liver enzymes. My alt was 60 in March with a virus and started these meds in June and now my alt is 100 and ast is 60. Could the medications cause the increase?
I take benadryl (diphenhydramine) everyday about 250mg not at once but during the day for chonic allergies. Been doing this for two years will this damage my liver?
Many have said it's safe to take Metoprolol and Benadryl. I read though that both use the enzyme CYP2D6 to metabolize. Wouldn't this increase concentrations of one of the medications or both in my system?
I was told ok to take benadryl when on Metoprolol. When I look it up though it says they both use the same enzyme. Couldn't this cause problems?
Is it safe to take Abilify (aripiprazole) with Benadryl and xanax? It uses enzymes 2d6 & 3a4. Benadryl uses 2d6 and Xanax uses 3a4. Prescribed, of course. Curious..
