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 riluzole has rarely been associated with neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 500/mm3. The neutropenia developed within the first 2 months of treatment. Therapy with riluzole should be administered cautiously in patients predisposed to neutropenia. Patients should be warned to report any febrile illness.
