Cautions
With caution anafranil used in patients with epilepsy, the presence of other predisposing factors, the emergence of a convulsive syndrome (brain damage of any cause, while the use of neuroleptics or withdrawal of drugs with anticonvulsant properties). With extreme caution should be prescribed anafranil patients with cardiovascular disease, patients with a history of which there are data on increased intraocular pressure, closed-angle glaucoma or coal urinary retention (eg, due to diseases of the prostate gland); patients with severe liver disease, with tumors of the medulla adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma – increases risk of hypertensive crisis), with chronic constipation (possibly the development of paralytic ileus in elderly patients or patients who are forced to comply with bed rest). Patients with panic attacks in the early treatment of increased anxiety (most pronounced in the first days of treatment and usually subsides within 2 weeks).
When injected anafranila possible isolated cases of anaphylactic shock, in patients with orthostatic hypotension and lability of the vascular system, there may be a sharp decline in blood pressure. Observe caution in patients with hyperthyroidism or patients receiving thyroid hormone drugs. Please continue to study the composition of peripheral blood and attention to symptoms such as fever and sore throat. Depression, is characteristic of the risk of suicidal acts, which may persist until significant remission achievement. Prior to the general or local anesthesia should alert the anesthesiologist that the patient takes anafranil. With long-term treatment may develop tooth decay, decreased tearing, and the relative increase in the number of mucus in the tear fluid, which can cause damage to the corneal epithelium in patients using contact lenses. In the treatment may appear blurred vision, drowsiness and other violations of the CNS, which may affect activities requiring attention and quickness of psychomotor reactions. Avoid abrupt cancellation anafranila. You should not assign anafranil for at least 2 weeks after discontinuation of MAO inhibitors (there is a risk of severe symptoms and conditions, as hypertensive crisis, hyperpyrexia, myoclonus, generalized convulsions, delirium and coma). The same rules should be followed in the case of MAO inhibitor is given after previous treatment anafranilom. The initial dose anafranila or MAO inhibitors should be low, they should be increased gradually. Anafranil may be appointed not earlier than 24 hours after discontinuation of MAO inhibitors type A reversible actions (such as moclobemide). If such a drug is given after the abolition anafranila, the break must be at least 2 weeks. Anafranil may exacerbate the effects on the cardiovascular system (epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoprenaline, ephedrine and phenylephrine, including those of local anesthetics), as well as the effect of ethanol and other means of having a depressing effect on the central nervous system (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, or the means to anesthesia), anticholinergic activity of a number of funds (phenothiazines, antiparkinsonian drugs, atropine, biperiden, antihistamines) in the organs of vision, central nervous system, bowel and bladder.
The joint application anafranila with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may increase the effects on the serotonin system. The combined use of neuroleptics may increase the level of tricyclic antidepressants in the blood plasma, lowering the threshold of convulsive readiness and promote the development of seizures. Combination with thioridazine may lead to severe arrhythmias. Concomitant use of cimetidine, methylphenidate, estrogen leads to increased concentrations of tricyclic antidepressants in plasma, so their use is recommended to lower the dose of antidepressants.
