Medication Consultation
Hello Director Hong: May I ask if it is possible to take Nankang Nengdeshuang extended-release capsules 120mg and Jiamiluo 5mg separately? What medications interact with Nankang Nengdeshuang? Can topical medications or non-aspirin analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs be used? Thank you.
You-Chen, 30~39 year old female. Ask Date: 2020/05/27
Dr. Hong Kunyi reply Pharmacology
Hello, miss: The two medications mentioned above can be taken separately, and there are no documented interactions between them in the literature.
It is important to pay special attention to oral antifungal medications when using topical medications or analgesics.
However, if you are regularly visiting the clinic for evaluation, the physician will typically be aware of this.
Additionally, if you are planning to become pregnant or are already pregnant, please be sure to inform your physician during your visit so they can assess whether these medications are appropriate for you.
Wishing you good health and well-being.

More Info
When considering the safety of combining medications such as Nankang Nengdeshuang (南光能得爽) and Jiamiluo (甲美樂), it is essential to understand the pharmacological properties of each drug and their potential interactions. Nankang Nengdeshuang is typically used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, while Jiamiluo is often prescribed for its effects on mood and anxiety.
Based on available data, there are no significant documented interactions between Nankang Nengdeshuang and Jiamiluo. This suggests that they can be taken together without major concerns. However, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a pharmacist or physician, for personalized advice, especially if you are taking other medications or have underlying health conditions.
In terms of interactions with other medications, Nankang Nengdeshuang may have some interactions with certain drugs. For instance, it is crucial to avoid combining it with other medications that can cause sedation or respiratory depression, as this could enhance the sedative effects. Additionally, if you are considering using topical medications or other anti-inflammatory drugs (excluding aspirin), it is generally safe, but caution is advised. Always check with your healthcare provider to ensure that there are no contraindications based on your specific health profile.
When taking multiple medications, it is essential to monitor for any unusual side effects or symptoms. If you experience any adverse reactions, such as increased drowsiness, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues, it is important to seek medical advice promptly.
Furthermore, it is beneficial to maintain an updated list of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This information can help healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding your treatment plan and avoid potential drug interactions.
In summary, while Nankang Nengdeshuang and Jiamiluo do not have significant interactions, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication regimen. They can provide tailored advice based on your health history and current medications, ensuring your safety and well-being. Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare team regarding any concerns or questions about your medications.
