HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Nitroglycerin interacts with cabergoline. It decreases the breakdown of the cabergoline therefore causing increase in the cabergoline levels.
This increases the risk of angina and elevated blood pressure.

The sodium bicarbonate decreases the levels of the doxycycline which woudl then decrease its effectiveness.
They should be separated by 2 hours.

I hope this helps
