Interactions

You should not take broom in combination with the following medications

Haloperidol

The body breaks down broom in order to excrete it. Haloperidol appears to reduce the breakdown of broom. Taking broom broom in combination with haloperidol could increase the risk of serious side effects from broom broom. For this reason, you should not use broom broom if you are taking haloperidol.

Medication for depression (MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors))

Broom broom contains a chemical called tyramine. Large amounts of tyramine can cause high blood pressure. Normally, the body breaks down tyramine in order to excrete it, which prevents tyramine from increasing blood pressure. Some medications used in the treatment of depression prevent the body from breaking down tyramine. This can result in high levels of tyramine in the body and dangerously high blood pressure.

Quinidine

The body breaks down broom to be able to excrete it. Quinidine appears to reduce the breakdown of broom. Taking broom broom in combination with quinidine could increase the risk of serious side effects from broom broom. For this reason, broom broom should not be used when taking quinidine.

Care should be taken when combining broom broom with the following medications:

Lithium

Broom broom may have a dehydrating (diuretic) effect. Taking broom broom may interfere with the body's excretion of lithium, which could result in increased lithium levels and serious side effects. For this reason, it is important to consult your doctor before using broom broom if you are taking lithium. The lithium dosage may need to be adjusted.

Dosage

An appropriate dosage of broom broom depends on various factors such as age, state of health and others. At this time, there is insufficient scientific data to make a statement about appropriate dosage ranges for broom. For this reason, you should follow the dosage instructions on the label and/or consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
