Can I take Carbinoxamine with Chlordiazepoxide?

Do not use Carbinoxamine Maleate extended-release oral suspension in patients who are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which prolong and intensify the anticholinergic (drying) effects of antihistamines. Avoid use of Carbinoxamine Maleate extended-release oral suspension with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics sedatives, tranquilizers, etc.) due to additive effects.

This is general interaction text from the label of a product that contains Carbinoxamine. It does not mention Chlordiazepoxide, so it does not show how Carbinoxamine and Chlordiazepoxide affect each other. The verdict above comes from the GoDavaii interaction dataset. Ask your pharmacist to check both medicines' labels before you combine them.

Questions to ask your pharmacist

• Does Carbinoxamine change how Chlordiazepoxide works, or the other way round?
• Should I take Carbinoxamine and Chlordiazepoxide at different times of day?
• Which side effects should I watch for while taking both?
• Is there a better option if this combination does not suit me?

• Always tell your doctor/pharmacist about ALL medicines you take - prescriptions, OTC, supplements, and herbal products.
• Keep a current medicine list with doses and timings - photo on your phone is enough.
• Read medicine labels for timing (with food / empty stomach) before combining.
• Even 'safe' combinations need monitoring - note any unusual symptoms in the first few days.
• Use GoDavaii AI to double-check before adding any new medicine, supplement, or desi ilaaj.
