Plaquenil, ketek, doxy, mepron, artemisinin

I know that I can't take doxy and mepron togetehr.

Are thre any othes of the above list that should not be taken together?

I looked at the Drug Interactions digest and they didn't come up with any interaction (even for the doxy/mepron).

Since I know doxy /mepron is not okay, I didn't really trust the info I got there.

Was hoping some you you all might have some info.

Thanks,
robi

1 potential interaction was found for the drugs you selected.
You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

Doxycycline
Ketek
Mepron
Plaquenil
Add or Delete Drugs

Start Over with a New List of Drugs

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

ALCOHOL may interact with DOXYCYCLINE

Doxycycline is broken down and removed from the body by the liver. If you are taking doxycycline and have been consuming alcohol on a regular basis for a long period of time, the drug may be broken down at a faster rate than normal. If this happens, then potentially less doxycycline would be available for the body to use and blood levels could become too low. This could make doxycycline less effective at treating an infection. On the other hand, alcohol may increase the absorption of doxycycline from the stomach. This is more likely to happen when alcohol has not been consumed on a regular basis. Although this may cause blood levels of doxycycline to be increased, it is not likely to increase the beneficial effects of the drug. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity. http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs/1,4109,,00.html

Your Results
The interactive effects of --


doxycycline + Mepron + Plaquenil Sulfate + Ketek


are as follows:

There are no interactions for the selected Drugshttp://health.discovery.com/encyclopedias/checker/interaction.jsp?drug=doxycycline%7C11973&drug=Mepron%7C1907&drug=Plaquenil+Sulfate%7C1542&&drug=Ketek%7C50779

Thanks for running that for me.

I did the same thing and when I found no interactin between the doxy and mepron i decided not to trust the info there because my LLMD says doxy and Mepron cannot be done together.

Bringing this back up so people can get use out of the drug interaction checker that I have used at discovery health.
