Hello jaw00001-ga!

I was researching a question earlier and one of the sites I used in
answering that question is perfect for your needs. The site
http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/Interaction/ChooseDrugs, a service of
Express Scripts, a mail-away prescription company, allows users to
choose from numerous prescription and over-the-counter medications, in
addition to herbal supplements. It then runs a crosschecking formula
and gives you a list of potential interactions. You can also look for
food and alcohol interactions.

Entering disulfuram (Antabuse) and methylphenidate (Ritalin) reveals
no interactions between the two medications, so presumably they are
safe to take together. Of course, this information should be discussed
with your own physician or other qualified health care practitioner.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Welcome to Google Answers!

Sincerely,
Boquinha-ga
