Selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants:
THC can increase the effect of fluoxetine. Tricyclic
antidepressants:
THC
can increase the side effects of amitriptyline (i.e. tachycardia, hypertension
and sedation). Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's): Indomethacin
and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) reduce the effects of THC. Barbiturates:
These increase the depressive effects of THC and also increase tachycardia
associated with THC consumption. Benzodiazepines:
These drugs can increase depression of the nervous system and also of
the respiratory system. Beta-blockers:
These reduce tachycardia associated with THC. Ethanol
(alcohol): This can increase nervous
system deterioration. Opiates:
Increased sedation and analgesia. Theophylline:
Cannabinoids increase theophylline catabolism. A dosage increase is thus
required in such cases. Anticholinergic
agents: Atropine and scopolamine
can increase tachycardia produced by THC. Disulfiram:
THC interacts with disulfiram, causing a very unpleasant reaction in the
patient. The combination of both substances should therefore be avoided.
