Ezonium drug interactions:

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are using the following medicines:
Amoxicillin and clarithromycin – simultaneous use may increase the amount of omeprazole and hydroxyclarithromycin in the blood.
Azole antifungal drugs (such as itraconazole, ketoconazole) – the use of omeprazole increases the pH of the digestive system and may reduce the absorption of these drugs. Concomitant use of drugs is prohibited.
Benzodiazepines (such as diazepam, triazolam) – in simultaneous use, the amount of benzodiazepines in the blood increases. It is recommended to reduce the amount of benzodiazepines or increase the intervals between the two drugs.
Clopidogrel – Antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel may decrease with concomitant use of drugs.
Digoxin – simultaneous use of drugs may increase the amount of digoxin in the blood.
Erlotinib – the use of omeprazole may interfere with the absorption of erlotinib. The combined use of drugs should be avoided.
Methotrexate – omeprazole may increase the amount of methotrexate in the blood by reducing the renal excretion of methotrexate, thus increasing the risk of toxicity with it. In case of simultaneous use of drugs, determining the amount of methotrexate in the blood and the symptoms caused by drug toxicity should be carefully monitored.
Mycophenolate – the amount of mycophenolate in the blood and its pharmacological effects may decrease.
Sustained-release tolterodine – The release of tolterodine from the sustained-release form of the drug may increase due to the increase in gastric pH after taking omeprazole. It is necessary to adjust the dose of tolterodine.
Salicylates with enteric coating – salicylates may dissolve faster and the gastrointestinal side effects caused by their consumption may be aggravated.
Warfarin – simultaneous use may increase INR and prothrombin time and lead to abnormal bleeding and even death. Therefore, changes in INR and prothrombin time should be monitored.
