WARNING: SEROTONIN SYNDROME WITH CONCOMITANT USE OF SEROTONERGIC DRUGS Methylene blue may cause serious or fatal serotonergic syndrome when used in combination with serotonergic drugs.
This black box warning is critical to ensure patient safety, particularly in avoiding life-threatening serotonin syndrome in vulnerable populations.
The side effects of low-dose methylene blue are generally mild, but can include several notable adverse reactions.
Other potential side effects include hemolytic anemia, particularly in individuals with G6PD deficiency, and various gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms such as abdominal pain, dry mouth, and nasal congestion. Additionally, methylene blue can interfere with in-vivo monitoring devices and laboratory tests, which is an important consideration for patients undergoing regular medical evaluations
Do not use methylene blue if you have G6PD deficiency, or if you use of SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or ADHD stimulants. You should also avoid this medication if you have hypersensitivity to methylene blue or its components.
Regular monitoring of serotonin levels is required for patients on certain antidepressants. Patients should also avoid excessive exposure to light, as methylene blue is photosensitizing.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.

What are the most common side effects?
Acarbose safety information and drug interactions:
Mayo Clinic || National Institutes of Health
Unlike sulfonylureas, this group of drugs does not cause hypoglycemia. However, combination therapy with sulfonylureas or insulin poses the risk of hypoglycemia; in that case, the patient should understand the need to keep glucose with them.
See a complete list of Orlistat side effects here.
You must stop taking low dose naltrexone at least 48 hours prior to any procedure that requires sedation. Ensure that your doctor knows that you are taking LDN prior to the procedure. It is recommended not to resume taking LDN until 48 hour after your last dose of medication that was
prescribed for the procedure.It is important to notify your doctor if you are taking any thyroid medication. LDN may impact your thyroid levels. Stop taking LDN and notify your prescriber if you have any signs or symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as excess sweating, fast heart rate, hyperactivity, issues with sleeping, or restlessness.
Because orlistat may decrease the amount of some vitamins that your body absorbs from food, you will need to take a multivitamin supplement once a day. Take the vitamin supplement at least 2 hours before or after taking orlistat.
You may also take your multivitamin supplement at bedtime.
When using orlistat, your diet should contain no more than 30% of calories as fat. More fat in your diet will increase the side effects of this medicine. Your diet should be nutritionally balanced, and your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates, and protein should be distributed over three main meals.
Carefully follow your doctor's instructions for a reduced-calorie diet plan and regular exercise. Talk with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

Acarbose can cause a severe allergic reaction. Symptoms may include:
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you develop these symptoms.
Don’t take this drug again if you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to it. Taking it again could be fatal.
Alcohol can affect your blood sugar level. It can both increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) as well as increase your blood sugar levels by serving as an additional source of carbohydrates. Talk with your doctor before drinking alcohol.
For people with diabetic ketoacidosis: Don’t take this medication if you have diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious condition that can result in unconsciousness and potentially death. Symptoms of this condition develop slowly. They include dry mouth or being very thirsty, high blood sugar levels, and urinating frequently. If you begin vomiting and suspect you have this condition, call your doctor or go to the hospital immediately. This condition can become life-threatening within a few hours once you’re vomiting.
For people with cirrhosis or liver disease: Don’t take acarbose if you have cirrhosis or severe liver disease. Taking acarbose could make your condition worse.
For people with intestinal disease: If you have certain intestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, colonic ulceration, or partial intestinal obstruction, or if you’re predisposed to intestinal obstruction, you shouldn’t take acarbose. Taking it could make your condition worse.
For people who take insulin or a sulfonylurea: When acarbose is taken with these other drugs, it may increase your risk for developing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Signs of hypoglycemia may include fast heart rate, confusion, hunger, sweating, shaking, or feeling weak and dizzy. Use glucose tablets or liquid glucose to help manage a hypoglycemic event while taking acarbose. Cane sugar (sucrose) won’t work to treat your hypoglycemia while you’re taking acarbose. Use oral glucose (dextrose) products instead.
For pregnant women: Acarbose is a pregnancy category B drug. That means two things:
Tell your doctor if you’re pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Acarbose should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
For women who are breastfeeding: Research on lactating rats has shown small amounts of acarbose in the rat milk. It isn’t known if acarbose passes through human breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you’ll take acarbose or breastfeed.
For children: The safety and effectiveness of acarbose in people younger than 18 years haven’t been proved.
Acarbose does not cause drowsiness, but it can cause other side effects.
The more common side effects from using acarbose include:
These side effects usually develop during the first few weeks after taking acarbose. They should decrease as you continue to take the medication, typically within a few days or a couple of weeks. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if they’re more severe or don’t go away.
Call your doctor right away if you have serious side effects. Call 911 if your symptoms feel life-threatening or if you think you’re having a medical emergency. Serious side effects and their symptoms can include the following:
Allergic skin reaction. Symptoms may include:

Taking chlorpromazine with acarbose may cause your blood sugar level to get too high, resulting in hyperglycemia.
Taking certain seizure medications with acarbose may affect your blood sugar level. Examples of these drugs include:
Taking niacin with acarbose can cause your blood sugar level to get too high, resulting in hyperglycemia.
Taking drugs called sympathomimetics with acarbose may cause your blood sugar level to get too high, resulting in hyperglycemia. Examples of these drugs include:
Taking certain blood pressure drugs called beta-blockers with acarbose may cause your blood sugar level to get too high, resulting in hyperglycemia. It can also delay how long it takes for your blood sugar to return to normal. Beta-blockers can also mask some of the signs of low blood sugar, such as higher than normal heart rate, palpitations, and shakiness. Examples of these drugs include:
Taking isoniazid with acarbose may cause your blood sugar level to get too high, resulting in hyperglycemia.
Taking digoxin with acarbose can cause the levels of digoxin in your body to change. If you take these drugs together, your dose of digoxin may need to be adjusted by your doctor.
