Moban Drug Interactions
A number of medicines should not be taken with Moban. Drug interactions may occur if Moban is combined with antidepressants, sleep medications, benzodiazepines, or other antipsychotic medications. These interactions can increase your risk of developing potentially serious side effects, such as drowsiness, confusion, memory loss, and difficulty breathing. To avoid Moban drug interactions, tell your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
As of January 2010, the manufacturer of Moban has decided to stop making this medication. It is predicted that all current supplies will be depleted by June 2010. All people taking Moban should talk with their healthcare providers immediately about switching to a different medication.
