A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Methylene blue may enhance the effects of secobarbital on the central nervous system. You may experience increased drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and incoordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. 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:

MONITOR: Limited clinical data suggest that nonselective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may enhance or prolong the central nervous system effects of barbiturates. The mechanism of interaction is unknown, but may involve inhibition of barbiturate metabolism by MAOIs. Somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, and semi-consciousness have been reported.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, patients should be monitored for increased barbiturate effects during coadministration with an MAOI or other agents that possess MAOI activity such as furazolidone, linezolid, methylene blue, and procarbazine.
