Acetyl L Carnitine & Drug Interaction
« on: February 24, 2012, 06:25:52 am »
My Neurologist Prescribed Acetyl L Carnitine for P.N Pains. But reading this link http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/carnitine-l-000946.htm I found interaction with Zidivodine.

Can I continue ALCAR? or stop.
Need your advice?

The article mentions a protective effect, not a bad interaction. There have been several studies in humans showing acetyl L carnatine helps with PN after you stop using the drug that is causing the PN.

It's OK to take acetyl L carnatine with AZT. It will help with recovery from d4T related PN and hopefully prevent AZT making the PN continue.
