Cautions with other medicines
Some medicines can affect the way cyclizine works and increase the chance of having side effects.
Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you're taking:
- a type of antidepressant called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, such as phenelzine
- any medicine that makes you drowsy, gives you a dry mouth or makes it difficult for you to pee – taking cyclizine might make these side effects worse
It's usually best to only take 1 type of medicine for feeling or being sick.
If cyclizine does not work for you, speak to your doctor and they may suggest a different medicine for you.
Mixing cyclizine with herbal remedies and supplementsSome herbal remedies can make your side effects worse. Speak to your pharmacist before taking any herbal remedies or supplements.
