Drug Interactions

• Fluvoxamine and other CYP1A2 inhibitors: These can raise aminophylline levels in the blood and increase the risk of side effects
• Diuretics (water pills): These may enhance the effect of ammonium chloride and increase the risk of electrolyte changes
• CNS depressants including alcohol, sedatives, and sleeping pills: These can increase drowsiness caused by diphenhydramine
• MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, phenelzine, selegiline): Combining with diphenhydramine can cause serious and dangerous reactions
• Opioid pain medicines: These can increase sedation when taken alongside Deltalin syrup

Risks and warnings

• Aminophylline sensitivity: Patients with a history of seizures should use this syrup with caution, as aminophylline can lower the seizure threshold
• Heart conditions: Aminophylline can increase heart rate and may worsen palpitations or arrhythmias
• Asthma or COPD patients: Deltalin syrup is not a replacement for inhaled bronchodilators in acute or severe attacks
• Caffeine intake: Caffeine-containing drinks like tea, coffee, and energy drinks can increase aminophylline side effects and should be reduced
• Drowsiness risk: Diphenhydramine causes drowsiness, which may be stronger in some patients
• Pregnancy: This syrup should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor
• Breastfeeding: Diphenhydramine can pass into breast milk and is not recommended during breastfeeding without medical advice
• Elderly patients: Older adults are more sensitive to the sedating effects of diphenhydramine and the stimulating effects of aminophylline
