Rivetal Drug Interactions

Tell the doctor or pharmacist if the patient is taking, has recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
Rivetal should not be given at the same time as other medicines with similar effects to Rivetal. Rivetal might interfere with anticholinergic medicines (medicines used to relieve stomach cramps or spasms, to treat Parkinson's disease or to prevent travel sickness).
Rivetal should not be given at the same time as metoclopramide (a medicine used to relieve or prevent nausea and vomiting). Taking the two medicines together could cause problems such as stiff limbs and trembling hands.
If the patient has to undergo surgery whilst taking Rivetal, tell the doctor before the patient is given any anaesthetics, because Rivetal may exaggerate the effects of some muscle relaxants during anaesthesia.
Caution when Rivetal is taken together with beta-blockers (medicines such as atenolol used to treat hypertension, angina and other heart conditions). Taking the two medicines together could cause problems such as slowing of the heartbeat (bradycardia) leading to fainting or loss of consciousness.
