Interactions with other drugs

The combination of St. John's wort medicines with MAOI or the use of the latter directly after the use of Deprivitis can lead to the potentiation of side effects of drugs.

Simultaneous use with other antidepressants (among them citalopram with sertraline, fluoxetine with fluvoxamine, and paroxetine) and derivatives of tryptane (among them naratriptan with sumatriptan and zolmitriptan), can also potentiate side effects (eg, vomiting, a feeling of fear or excitement, and besides this nausea).

In addition to the methods described above, the drug is able to interact with other drugs that are metabolized by enzymes of the hemoprotein system P450. The effect on enzymes can be observed after the use of drugs containing St. John's wort extract. Because of this, Deprivit can interact with other medicines in the period of 2 weeks after its cancellation.

Therefore, they can be used in combination only with the permission of the doctor (in this case, it is necessary to monitor the indices of PTV and blood at the initial and final stage of therapy).
