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:

Lorcaserin may cause priapism due to 5-HT2C receptor agonism. The condition is characterized by prolonged, often painful erections lasting longer than 4 hours. If not treated promptly, priapism can cause irreversible damage to the erectile tissue. Therapy with lorcaserin should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of priapism, conditions that may predispose them to priapism (e.g., sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia, thalassemia), or anatomical deformations of the penis (e.g., angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, Peyronie's disease). Patients who experience an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, whether painful or not, should immediately discontinue the drug and seek emergency medical attention.
