The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when Emsam is combined with any of the drugs listed above.

 

You should not use apraclonidine eye drops while taking Emsam, due to the risk of dangerously high blood pressure (hypertension).

 

Strattera and Emsam should not be taken together, or within two weeks of each other, due to the risk of dangerous side effects.
