Taking cinnarizine with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Stugeron

Cautions with other medicines

Cinnarizine can affect the way other medicines work. It can also be affected by other medicines. Both can increase the chance of side effects.

Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you're taking any medicine that:

  • makes you feel drowsy
  • gives you a dry mouth
  • makes it difficult for you to pee

Taking cinnarizine can make these side effects worse.

Mixing cinnarizine with herbal remedies and supplements

There might be a problem taking some herbal remedies and supplements alongside cinnarizine, especially ones that cause side effects such as sleepiness, a dry mouth or making it difficult to pee.

Ask your pharmacist for advice.

There's not enough information to say whether other complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with cinnarizine. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
