Contraindications | Volon A

Contraindications

Volon® A is not recommended in cases of immunodeficiency, as it additionally suppresses the immune system. Volon® A can also not be used in case of severe infections. In cases of damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, severe osteoporosis and mental illness, the advantages and disadvantages of therapy with Volon® A must be weighed up.

Interactions with other drugs

Volon® A inhibits the effect of blood clotting agents and diabetes medication taken in tablet form. When Volon® A is combined with non-steroidal anti-rheumatic drugs, the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding increases significantly, so this combination should be avoided. Barbiturates, rifampicin and phenytoin reduce the effect of Volon® A.

Application in pregnancy and lactation

Volon® A must not be used during pregnancy and lactation because it is placental and its inhibitory effect on cell proliferation leads to growth disorders in the child.
