Hello,
Except the derriphylline retard,you can give other medicines without any problem.
Derriphylline belongs to the xanthine family of class and so it bears a close structural resemblance with that of caffeine.
It can cause palpitations and cardiac stimulation,so it should be avoided.
I hope it helps.
Thanks
