Drug Interactions: KETAMINE

As we all know, some drugs cannot be taken together. We are pretty careful not to mix these, but what if your drink is spiked and you are taking a prescribed drug which may interact with the spike drug? You're best to find out what the interactions are, and see if your medications are on that list. Get yourself to an A&E if you suspect any sort of interaction, as you can't be sure what drug was used to spike your drink until a blood or urine test has been taken. Don't waste time wondering whether the drugs will interact, seek medical attention immediately.
KETAMINE INTERACTIONS

• a barbiturate such as amobarbital (Amytal), butabarbital (Butisol), mephobarbital (Mebaral), secobarbital (Seconal), or phenobarbital (Luminal, Solfoton); or
