Drug interaction guide

Originally published 25 Jan 2026

Meets Patient’s editorial guidelines

There are no known direct interactions between aciclovir and Gly-Coramin. However, both medications can put a small amount of extra strain on the kidneys. If your kidney function is already reduced, taking them together might slightly increase the risk of side effects from aciclovir.

It is generally safe to take aciclovir and Gly-coramin together. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your kidneys process the aciclovir and to prevent it from crystallising in the kidneys.

If you have a history of kidney problems, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting aciclovir.

Important precautions

Doping in sport

Gly-Coramin contains nikethamide, which is a prohibited substance in competitive sports. It will result in a positive drug test (doping violation).

Food and drink warnings

Caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks)

Gly-Coramin contains nikethamide, which is a stimulant. Consuming caffeine alongside this medicine can increase the risk of side effects such as restlessness, racing heart (palpitations), tremors, and anxiety. It is best to limit caffeine intake while using this medicine.

Alcohol

You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Gly-Coramin. Alcohol can interfere with the effects of the medicine and may increase the risk of dizziness or coordination problems.

Can I take Sertraline and Fluoxetine together?

Taking sertraline and fluoxetine together significantly increases the risk of a rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome. This happens because both medicines work by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. If levels get too high, it can cause symptoms like shivering, diarrhoea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, and even seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can slow down how your body breaks down sertraline, leading to a build-up of the drug in your system and increasing the risk of side effects.
