HEAD & TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY COMMUNITY
Medicine Interaction - Brain Clot Surgery

Medicine Interaction - Brain Clot Surgery

My friend had a brain surgery (right side of the brain) 5 months ago to get a clot removed and has a titanium plate inside to cover the opening in the skull. After the operation, his left side was paralysed and hence has been under physio since then and still has to get his left forearm, wrist & fingers back.
He has been put on ACITROM (indefinitely) & EPTOIN but when he visited another doctor for a second opinion, he was asked to take MECGLA 100 mg - (Contains: Gamma linolenic acid, methyl, cobalamin, vitamin c) and AMANTREL 100 mg - (contains: Amantadine hydro-chloride capsules). I'd like to know if these medicines interact with ACITROM and if it is safe for him to take them. He was prescribed these new medicines to reduce the spasticity of his left hand.

Hi,

As such there are no interactions between acitrom and amantrel and acitrom and mecgla 100 mg.
I would advise you to discuss this with his treating doctor as well as he should be aware what all medications his patient is taking. Take care!

Hi Noopur,

Thank you for responding. However, I needed a clarification. When you say, as such there are no interactions between the tablets, do you mean they do not interact and that the new tablets should NOT be taken with Acitrom?

We are meeting the treating doctor to make sure it is safe to take them before starting on them.

Thank you Noopur!

Hi,

By not interacting it means that there is no harm in taking them together.

Let me know if you need more clarifications and do keep me posted!
