Consumer:Using thalidomide together with dextromethorphan may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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: Thalidomide can commonly cause drowsiness/sedation and may have additive effects with other drugs that cause central nervous system (CNS) depression.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when thalidomide is used with other CNS depressants such as anticonvulsants, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, opioids, and sedatives/hypnotics. Patients should be advised to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. Dosage reductions may be necessary. Thalidomide should preferably be administered at bedtime to reduce the impact of somnolence. Alcohol use is not recommended.
