Use of both the medicines together is not recommended.

Monitoring of side-effects and damage related to voriconazole is recommended, particularly when voriconazole is started within 24 hour of the last dose of Zocon DT 50mg Tablet. Using both the medicines together should be avoided.

Antipsychotic Agent = There may be an interaction of Zocon DT 50mg Tablet with pimozide, which is used to treat mental disorders. When Zocon DT 50mg is used with this medicine, it increases the level of pimozide in the blood that may result in an abnormal and prolonged heartbeat. Avoid taking both the medicines together.

Opioids Analgesics = Zocon DT 50mg interacts with opioid analgesics (fentanyl and alfentanil), which are used to relieve pain. When Zocon DT 50mg is used with these medicines, it may lead to failure of the lungs to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen. Due to the possibility of fatal outcomes, avoid using these medicines together.

Oral Hypoglycemics = Zocon DT 50mg may interact with oral hypoglycemics (tolbutamide, glyburide, and glipizide), which are used to lower the blood glucose levels.
