Can I take Fluanxol and Vitamin D together?

Varför detta händer

Fluanxol is an antipsychotic medication processed primarily by the liver, while Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin involved in calcium regulation. They do not share the same metabolic pathways and do not interfere with how the other works in the body.

You can continue taking both as prescribed. As with any supplement, it is always a good idea to inform your doctor or pharmacist about everything you are taking to ensure your records are up to date.

Parkinson's disease

Fluanxol can significantly worsen the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and should generally be avoided.

Heart rhythm disorders (Long QT syndrome)

Fluanxol can affect your heart rhythm. You must tell your doctor if you have a history of heart rhythm problems or are taking other medicines that affect the heart.

Hyperkalcemi (högt kalcium i blodet)

Do not take Vitamin D if you have high levels of calcium in your blood or urine, as this can lead to serious kidney damage.

Alkohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking Fluanxol. Combining alcohol with this medicine can significantly increase drowsiness and dizziness, and may impair your coordination and judgement. It can also increase the risk of serious side effects like breathing difficulties.

Caffeine (Coffee, Tea, Energy Drinks)

Caffeine can interfere with how Fluanxol works. High amounts of caffeine may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine or worsen symptoms of restlessness and anxiety. Try to keep your caffeine intake consistent and moderate.

Fettrika måltider

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is best absorbed when taken with a meal that contains some fat (such as dairy, eggs, or avocado).
