When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis is contraindicated in patients with a history of seizures. Mefloquine can increase the risk of convulsions in patients with epilepsy and may lower the plasma levels of some anticonvulsant medications. Therefore, it should only be prescribed for curative treatment of malaria in such patients and only if there are compelling medical reasons for its use.
