Interaction report

Weight Watchers Diet and Dalfampridine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Dalfampridine and Weight Watchers Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Weight Watchers Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Weight Watchers Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Dalfampridine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Dalfampridine is filed under 2 classifications — seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Weight Watchers Diet has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Dalfampridine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What Dalfampridine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Weight Watchers Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Dalfampridine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you follow Weight Watchers Diet and take the medicine. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on mentioned in 22.3% of FDA reports for Dalfampridine
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on
  • A severe allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Back pain
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Stomach upset
  • Tiredness mentioned in 7.8% of FDA reports for Dalfampridine

Showing the 10 most notable of 15 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Dalfampridine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 71,315 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Dalfampridine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Weight Watchers Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Weight Watchers Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Weight Watchers Diet has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Dalfampridine

This page covers Weight Watchers Diet only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Dalfampridine page lists 23 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Biofeedback (moderate), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), Dendrobium (moderate) and European Mandrake (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 13 moderate · 9 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dalfampridine page

“Activated charcoal is the entry I would put in front of anyone taking dalfampridine (Ampyra) for walking difficulty in multiple sclerosis. It is the only major-rated interaction among the 23 on this page, because charcoal can adsorb medication in the gut and cut how much reaches the bloodstream, and an unreliable dose is a real problem…”

About Weight Watchers Diet

What is Weight Watchers Diet?

  • Weight loss
  • Weight maintenance
  • Building healthier eating habits
  • Behavioral support for diet change
  • General wellness and lifestyle improvement

Weight Watchers (now called WW) is a commercial weight-loss program built around a points system, food tracking, and group or online support rather than a pill or herbal product. Research generally shows it can help people lose a modest amount of weight and keep some of it off, especially when combined with regular activity. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any weight-loss plan, particularly if you have a medical condition.

Not applicable (this is a commercial weight-management program, not a plant or supplement) · Structured eating plan with a points-based food system, app, group or online support, and coaching

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Weight Watchers Diet is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Weight Watchers Diet record says about it on its own.

Weight Watchers Diet: dosing

There is no pill or standardized dose for Weight Watchers, since it is a behavioral eating program. Instead, you follow the program's points budget and tracking system as set up in the app or plan you select.The right calorie or points target depends on your age, sex, weight, activity level, and goals, and the program personalizes this for you.
