Medications: Some medications are not compatible with hyperbaric oxygen therapy
(Adriamycin, Bleomycin, and Sulfamylon). The nurse/technician will need to know all
drugs you are currently taking. Each drug will be considered individually in relation to
HBOT therapy, and if changes are necessary in your medication schedule, your
physician will be consulted. While your doctors need to know all of your medications;
chemotherapy agents, seizure medications, steroids, and diabetic medications are of
particular importance. Please be sure to inform the medical team of all such
medications that you are taking now or have taken in the past. Cold and Other Illnesses:
It is important that you notify us if you have symptoms of a cold or the flu – fever, cough,
sore throat, runny nose, fever blisters, cold sores, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and
general feelings of discomfort or illness. HBOT treatments may be postponed until your
symptoms have subsided and the HBOT physician has cleared you.
