POLICOSANOL - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Policosanol might slow blood clotting. Taking policosanol along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding. Some medications that slow blood clotting include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, others), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Medications for high blood pressure (Beta-blockers) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Beta-blockers are used to lower blood pressure. Policosanol might have additive blood pressure-lowering effects in people who are already taking beta- blockers. This might increase the risk of blood pressure going too low. Do not take too much policosanol if you are also taking beta-blockers. Some beta- blockers include atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard), propranolol (Inderal), and others.

Nitroprusside (Nitropress) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Policosanol might increase the blood pressure lowering effects of nitroprusside (Nitropress).

Propranolol (Inderal) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Policosanol might increase the blood pressure lowering effects of propranolol (Inderal).

Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Policosanol might slow blood clotting. Warfarin also slows blood clotting. Taking policosanol along with warfarin might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding. But some research shows that this is not a big concern. Until more is known, do not take too much policosanol if you are also taking warfarin.

Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with POLICOSANOL

Policosanol might decrease blood sugar. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking policosanol along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed. Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
