> Although the cause of this potential interaction is not fully understood, intolerable or otherwise undesirable side effects may occur when diazepam is taken with alcoholic beverages or alcohol-containing products (such as some cough syrups and elixirs). Potential side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, headache, and nervousness. Because the combination of diazepam and alcohol (ethanol) may impair your judgment and/or reflexes, it may be dangerous to drive or to perform tasks which require you to be alert after taking these together. It would be advisable to avoid consuming alcohol while you are taking diazepam. Discuss this potential interaction with your healthcare provider at your next appointment, or sooner if you think you are having problems.

> Fluvoxamine may block the breakdown of diazepam by the liver. If this happens, blood levels of diazepam could be increased and this could cause an increase in side effects. Side effects that may occur with the use of diazepam include prolonged sedation, dizziness, confusion, and breathing difficulties. Use caution when driving or performing tasks that require careful attention. If fluvoxamine and diazepam are used together, your doctor may want to monitor you for side effects. If you are experiencing problems, it may be necessary to adjust the dose of diazepam. Your doctor may also consider using an alternative for diazepam. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

> LEVOTHYROXINE (in Synthroid) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
>
> Levothyroxine is absorbed in the intestine. Grapefruit juice may slow this process down causing levothyroxine uptake into the body to be reduced. Available evidence suggests this is a small interference, which is not likely to be important. There are no special precautions with taking levothyroxine and grapefruit juice at the same time. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
