Relevance: 05.10.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Medications like amphetamine can sometimes cause tics that may be mistaken for Tourette's disorder. If you are being treated for facial and/or verbal tics and have been receiving amphetamine, it may be reasonable to discontinue the medication for a while to determine whether it is causing your tics or if you do indeed have Tourette's disorder. Pimozide should only be used to treat tics that are due to Tourette's disorder. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

CONTRAINDICATED: Stimulants used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can precipitate or aggravate motor and phonic tics in some patients. The use of pimozide while patients are receiving these medications may make it difficult to determine whether the tics are due to Tourette's disorder or the use of these medications.

MANAGEMENT: When treating Tourette's disorder, the use of pimozide in patients receiving drugs that may cause motor and phonic tics (e.g., amphetamines, methylphenidate, pemoline) is considered contraindicated until such patients have been withdrawn from these drugs to determine whether they are, in fact, responsible for the tics.
