What are the Hexestrol side effects?
Hexestrol drug interactions
1. When used together with anticoagulant, hexestrol can reduce the anticoagulant effect. When it must be used together, the dosage of anticoagulant should be adjusted. When used together with carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, and rifampin, it can reduce the effect of hexestrol. This is due to the induction of liver microsomal enzymes and increase the speed of hexestrol Due to metabolism.
2. Used at the same time with tricyclic antidepressants, a large amount of hexestrol can enhance the adverse reactions of antidepressants and reduce their due effects. Simultaneous use with antihypertensive drugs can reduce the antihypertensive effect. Reduce the therapeutic effect of hexestrol. Increase the absorption of calcium.
