Patients who have taken barbiturates, tricyclic antidepressants and alcohol may show diminished ability to metabolise large doses of ATP 120 mg/5 ml. Alcohol can increase the hepatotoxicity of ATP 120 mg/5 ml overdosage. Chronic ingestion of anticonvulsants or oral steroid contraceptives induce liver enzymes and may prevent attainment of therapeutic ATP 120 mg/5 ml levels by increasing first-pass metabolism or clearance.

It is contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to ATP 120 mg/5 ml.

Side effects of ATP 120 mg/5 ml are usually mild, though haematological reactions including thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, pancytopenia, neutropenia, and agranulocytosis have been reported. Pancreatitis, skin rashes, and other allergic reactions occur occasionally.
