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 tacrine is contraindicated in patients with a history of tacrine-induced jaundice confirmed by elevated total bilirubin greater than 3.0 mg/dl. Elevations in liver function tests (LFTs) have been reported in as many as 50% of patients receiving tacrine. Twenty-five percent of patients may experience a 3 fold rise in ALT and 7% a 10 fold rise in ALT. LFTs should be monitored prior to initiation of tacrine therapy is initiated and when dosages are altered. Tacrine undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism by the liver (CYP450-1A2) to multiple forms. The metabolic and therapeutic activity of tacrine can be altered in patients with compromised hepatic function and therapy with tacrine should be administered cautiously in these patients.
