Is It Safe To Take Prilosec Along With Dilantin?

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2015

Question: I have taken Dilantin for many years. Recently I was advised to take Prilosec (20mg). Will this interfere with Dilantin? Also, I was given Dexilant (60mg). Will this interfere with Dilantin?

Brief Answer:
prilosec can increase levels of dilantin.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

Out of prilosec and dexilant, prilosec can increase the blood levels of dilantin.

A caution is warranted while using prilosec with dilantin.

Dexilant has no significant interactions with dilantin.

Kindly disscuss this with your doctor.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.

Thanks.
