A: Are you taking both these tablets together? Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases 2 different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When flupentixol is taken with alcohol, medicines for anxiety (anxiolytics), sleeping tablets and strong painkillers, the sedative effects of these medicines may be enhanced. Check with your doctor if any side effects continue or are bothersome.
