Can I take Danazol and Quetiamine together?

Why this happens

Quetiapine is broken down in the liver by a specific enzyme (CYP3A4). Danazol blocks this enzyme, which stops the body from clearing quetiapine properly, leading to higher levels of the drug in your system.

You must speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. Your doctor may need to lower your dose of quetiapine or monitor you more closely for side effects. If you feel very dizzy, faint, or notice a fast or pounding heartbeat, seek medical help immediately.
