Drug Interactions: What to Avoid

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication combination. Alcohol can increase the risk of side effects, particularly liver problems.

Warfarin is a medication that thins the blood. Combining it with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and lansoprazole may increase bleeding risk. Consult your doctor before using both.

Certain antacids can reduce the effectiveness of lansoprazole. Space out the intake of antacids and this triple therapy by at least two hours.

Theophylline, a medication for respiratory conditions, can interact with clarithromycin, potentially leading to increased levels of theophylline in your blood. Your doctor may need to adjust your theophylline dosage.

Some statins, used to lower cholesterol, can experience increased side effects when taken with clarithromycin. Your doctor should monitor your liver function and adjust your statin dosage as needed.

Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking, even over-the-counter ones, before starting this triple therapy. This ensures the safest and most effective treatment.
