Before you start using this medication, tell your doctor about your medical history, including if you have an allergy reaction to tetracycline medicine, liver problem, kidney diseases, ongoing diarrhea, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or are planning to breastfeed. Tell your doctor about all your medications, including prescription, OTC, herbal supplements, and vitamins. There may be a drug interaction between Seysara and other medications, such as acitretin, retinoid, antacids containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium, bismuth subsalicylate, and iron-containing medicine (iron sulfate). Do not take Seysara within 36 hours before or after taking a medicine containing sacubitril. Do not use Seysara if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant without informing your doctor.
