Clonidine Tablets and Skin Patches
Catapres; Catapres-TTS Logo
Brand name(s): Catapres; Catapres-TTS
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to clonidine.
Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse (heart rate) daily and will tell you how rapid it should be. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to teach you how to take your pulse. If your pulse is slower or faster than it should be, call your doctor before taking the drug that day.
To avoid dizziness or faintness, get up slowly from a sitting or lying position. If you feel dizzy or faint at any time, you should lie or sit down.
To relieve dry mouth caused by clonidine, chew gum or suck sugarless hard candy.
Use of sleeping pills or other medications may increase the drowsiness caused by this drug.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.

Effects of Nortriptyline with Lamisil Tablets
I was prescribed Nortriptyline about 5 weeks ago, to assist me quitting smoking. That has been going fine at 75 mg per day.
I have also been prescribed Lamisil Tablets at 1 per day for treatment of fungal infection on my hand. The lamisil was prescribed 2 weeks after starting the Nortriptyline.
I asked the doctor if it was Ok to still take the anti-depressant, he said no problems. However I've been looking at information on Lamisil on the net tonight, and everywhere I read about lamisil, it states to tell your doctor if you are using any anti-depressants, and gives Nortriptyline as an example.
What are the risks (if any) by using both?
Thanks in advance.
