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 carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is contraindicated in patients with marked liver disease or cirrhosis. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors increase the risk of developing hepatic encephalopathy in these patients. Extreme caution should be exercised if carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are administered in patients with mild to moderate liver disease as the clearance of the drug can be decreased. A dose reduction might be needed and monitoring of the liver function is recommended.
