Carnicor Drug Interactions

L-Carnitine (Carnicor) may increase the effects of certain anticoagulants such as acenocoumarol, warfarin and heparin. Taking L-carnitine with thyroid hormone might decrease the effectiveness of the thyroid hormone. Cephalosporin antibiotics may reduce plasma carnitine levels. Anticonvulsants (phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine) may decrease serum carnitine in children. Cisplastin may increase urinary excretion of carnitine. Ifosfamide may increase urinary loss of carnitine. Patients suffering from neuropathy induced by nucleosides may have reduced levels of acetyl carnitine. L-Carnitine (Carnicor) may decrease the need for certain drugs, such as glycosides, digoxin, diuretics, beta-blockers, channel blockers, hypolipidemic drugs, and nitro derivatives. L-Carnitine (Carnicor) supplementation may reduce side effects associated with interleukin-2 (IL-2) or nortriptyline. It may also improve liver and muscular side effects associated with isotretinoin in acne patients. Carnitine may reduce nerve damage symptoms associated with paclitaxel use.
