Taking cyclizine with other medicines and herbal supplements

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way cyclizine works and increase the chance of having side effects.

Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you're taking:

  • a type of antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, such as phenelzine
  • any medicine that makes you drowsy, gives you a dry mouth or makes it difficult for you to pee – taking cyclizine might make these side effects worse

Taking cyclizine with other anti-sickness medicines

It's usually best to only take 1 type of medicine for feeling or being sick.

If cyclizine does not work for you, speak to your doctor and they may suggest a different medicine for you.

Mixing cyclizine with herbal remedies and supplements

Some herbal remedies can make your side effects worse. Speak to your pharmacist before taking any herbal remedies or supplements.

Important: Medicine safety

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