Negazole should be utilized with caution in patients with liver encephalopathy and the dose should lower to one third or may use once a day.

Weakness, numbness, and pain due to nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)

In patients who are undergoing hemodialysis treatment, Negazole and its metabolites are removed following a period of eight hours of dialysis. Negazole should be given immediately after performing hemodialysis.

As the breakdown of Negazole is done by liver enzymes, hence in the patients with damaged liver functions, the removal of Negazole has interfered. Accumulation of Negazole may occur in patients in whom the functions of the brain are lost when a damaged liver does not remove harmful substances from the blood (liver encephalopathy), and the high levels of Negazole in the blood may contribute to the symptoms of the encephalopathy.

The patients who use Negazole in combination with anticoagulants such as warfarin may experience an increased anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other oral anticoagulants, which may further prolong the blood clotting time. In such patients, the time that blood takes to clot (prothrombin time and international normalized ratio) should be carefully monitored.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with lithium, which is used to treat a major depressive disorder. The patients who are on high dose levels of lithium and who undergo short-term treatment with Negazole have been associated with increased levels of lithium in the blood. In some cases, lithium poisoning may occur due to high levels of lithium. The levels of lithium and creatinine in the blood should be monitored after certain days of beginning treatment with Negazole to recognize any increase that may lead to clinical symptoms of damage due to lithium accumulation.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with Busulfan, which is used in the treatment of certain types of cancers. The patients who use Negazole in combination with busulfan may experience an increase in the levels of busulfan in the blood, which may result in an increased risk of harmful effects of busulfan due to its accumulation. Patients who are on treatment with Negazole should not be given busulfan if the benefit by busulfan is less than the risk. If there is no other treatment available, the levels of busulfan in the blood should be monitored routinely and its dose should be adjusted properly.
Negazole Tablet may interact with drugs that prevent CYP450 enzymes such as cimetidine, which is used to treat certain types of ulcers. The patients who use Negazole in combination with the drugs that prevent CYP450 enzymes such as cimetidine may increase the level and decrease the clearance of Negazole from the blood.
There may be an interaction of Negazole with drugs that induce CYP450 enzymes such as phenytoin or phenobarbital, which is used for the prevention of tonic-clonic seizures. The patients who use Negazole in combination with the drugs that induce microsomal liver enzymes such as phenytoin or phenobarbital may enhance the elimination of Negazole. It results in reduced levels of Negazole in the blood and disrupted clearance of phenytoin has also been reported.
Negazole Tablet interacts with drug or laboratory tests. The patients who use Negazole may interfere with certain types of tests of blood chemistry values such as aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, and glucose hexokinase and the values of zero have been observed.

The patients who use Negazole in combination with ciclosporin may experience an increase in ciclosporin levels in the blood. Patients who are on treatment with both Negazole and ciclosporin should closely monitor the levels of ciclosporin and creatinine in the blood.
