Drug Interaction Unlock Additional DataAbacavir Metamizole may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abciximab The risk or severity of bleeding and hemorrhage can be increased when Metamizole is combined with Abciximab. Acarbose Metamizole may decrease the excretion rate of Acarbose which could result in a higher serum level. Acebutolol Metamizole may decrease the antihypertensive activities of Acebutolol. Aceclofenac The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Metamizole is combined with Aceclofenac. Acemetacin The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Metamizole is combined with Acemetacin. Acetaminophen The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Acetaminophen is combined with Metamizole. Acetohexamide The protein binding of Acetohexamide can be decreased when combined with Metamizole. Acetylsalicylic acid The risk or severity of bleeding and hemorrhage can be increased when Metamizole is combined with Acetylsalicylic acid. Aclidinium Metamizole may decrease the excretion rate of Aclidinium which could result in a higher serum level.
