Alimemazine enhances the effects of narcotic analgesics, hypnotics, anxiolytic (tranquilizers) and antipsychotic (antipsychotics) drugs (PM), as well as drugs for general anesthesia, m-anticholinergics and hypotensive drugs (hypotensive). Tricyclic antidepressants and anticholinergic drugs enhance the m-anticholinergic activity of alimemazine.

With the combined use of alimemazine with antiepileptic drugs and barbiturates, the threshold for convulsive activity decreases (dose adjustment is required).
With the combined use of alimemazine with beta-blockers, a pronounced decrease in blood pressure and arrhythmia is possible. Alimemazine weakens the effect of bromocriptine.
With simultaneous use in nursing mothers, an increase in the concentration of prolactin in the blood serum is possible.

With the simultaneous use of alimemazine with drugs that inhibit bone marrow hematopoiesis, the risk of myelosuppression increases.
