Multaq®, reportedly, interacts harmfully with many other drugs. There are 422 medications listed as having adverse interactions when given at the same time as Multaq®. If you experience any adverse drug interactions or side effects while taking this diabetes drug, you should speak with a Multaq® lawyer.

Multaq® Drug Interactions

Multaq can have serous interactions with some medications. One of these is digoxin (Digitalis). Administering Multaq® with digoxin can alter the effects of both drugs in the body. Multaq® (dronedarone) can increase the serum concentration of digoxin, a drug to treat heart failure. It can seriously slow the heart rate in these patients.

The product labeling says Multaq® increases the amount of digoxin the body is exposed to 2.5 –fold. Digoxin, on the other hand, increases the electrophysiologic effects of Multaq, causing heart disturbances. Taking the two drugs together also causes gastrointestinal disorders.

Other medications that interact unfavorably with Multaq® are:

• Calcium channel blockers
• Beta blockers
• Diuretics

Some drugs can increase the possibility of serious problems such as decreasing the heart rate. Other interactions reduce the efficacy of either medication.

Some specific drugs that cause problems when given together with Multaq® include:

• Coumadin (an anticoagulant that treats or prevents blood clots in the veins, arteries, heart, or lungs)
• Warfarin (an anticoagulant)
• Xanax (to treat panic disorder)
• Diltiazem (a calcium- channel blocker that affects the amount of calcium in the heart and muscle cells and reduces the amount of work the heart must do)
• Crestor (to lower cholesterol and slow the buildup of plaque in the arteries)
• Simvastatin (to control high cholesterol)
• Cardizem (a calcium channel blocker)

What Can Happen With Multaq® Drug Interactions?

When Multaq® is given with certain other drugs, the combination may be harmful to the body. Some drugs prevent the desired action of Multaq®, or vice versa. Some drugs act to increase the amount of Multaq® that stays in the body and thus adversely increase its effect, or Multaq® can adversely affect the activity of the other drug, increasing or decreasing its presence in the body and its efficacy or harm.
