Videx Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Videx is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Alcohol
It is usually best to avoid alcoholic beverages while you are taking Videx, as alcohol may increase the risk of dangerous
Videx side effects.
Allopurinol (Aloprim, Zyloprim)
Allopurinol can increase the level of Videx in your blood, increasing your risk of Videx side effects. In general, these medications should not be combined.
