ok, here's some that I have:

Procrit---monitor for Headache and Hematocrit, headache could be sign hematocrit is rising too quickly, increasing risk of seizures

Cephalosporins, cross allergy with penicillins

Sulfa drugs--take with food

Pyridium (urinary tract analgesic)---will turn urine bright orange

Anti-convulsants (ie dilantin)---man of them will turn urine red/pinkish color

Anticolinergics (ie Pro-Banthine, Ditropan)---contraindicated in pts with glaucoma (dilates pupil) as well as pts with BPH (causes urinary retention)

Atropine (anticolinergic)--if giving in a non-emergent setting, encourage pt to void first, due to risk of urinary retention
