| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Oral Phosphate Supplements; Urinary pH Modifiers/Aluminum; Calcium; Magnesium SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Medications containing significant amounts of aluminum, calcium, or magnesium may bind to the phosphate and prevent its absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of medications containing significant amounts of aluminum, calcium, or magnesium may result in decreased effectiveness of phosphate supplements and urinary pH modifiers high in phosphate.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving phosphate supplements or urinary pH modifiers high in phosphate should be instructed to avoid medications containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium.(1) If concurrent use cannot be avoided, separate the administration of phosphate containing products by as much time as possible from medications containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium. Some phosphate laxative products used as phosphate supplements may contain sufficient quantities of phosphate to interact as well. DISCUSSION: The manufacturer of K-Phos states that products containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium may bind to the phosphate and prevent its absorption. Therefore, patients receiving phosphate supplements and urinary pH modifiers high in phosphate should be instructed to avoid products containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium.(1) |

|---|---|
| Tetracyclines/Divalent & Trivalent Cations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Di- and trivalent cations may form chelation complexes with tetracyclines, preventing their absorption.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of di- or trivalent cations may result in decreased levels of and therapeutics effects from tetracyclines. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Administer tetracyclines at least two hours before or after the di- or trivalent cations. When used for the treatment of H. pylori infection, tetracyclines and bismuth should be given simultaneously. The US manufacturer of omadacycline states to fast for at least four hours, administer omadacycline, and then wait four hours before taking di- or trivalent cations.(21) The US manufacturer of ferric maltose recommends separation of ferric maltose by at least 4 hours.(22) DISCUSSION: Concurrent administration of aluminum hydroxide or divalent cations (such as calcium, magnesium, or zinc) has been shown to significantly decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of tetracycline.(3-5) Concurrent administration of tetracycline and magnesium-aluminum hydroxide gel has been shown to decrease the tetracycline area-under-curve (AUC) by 90%.(6) Magnesium-aluminum silicate has been shown to decrease the AUC of tetracycline by 27%.(7) Demeclocycline(8,9) methacycline,(10) chlortetracycline,(11) and oxytetracycline(10,12) have been shown to interact with aluminum hydroxide and/or dairy products. Doxycycline has been reported to interact with aluminum hydroxide gel.(13) Aluminum magnesium hydroxide has been shown to decrease doxycycline absorption by 84%.(14) Minocycline absorption has been shown to be impaired by aluminum, calcium, and magnesium.(15) Bismuth subsalicylate has been shown to decrease absorption of doxycycline and tetracycline by 37%(16) and 34%,(17) respectively. Since sucralfate is an aluminum salt of a sulfated disaccharide, it may also prevent absorption of tetracyclines. This complex has been used to provide site-specific delivery of tetracycline to gastric ulcers in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori gastric ulcer disease and may be useful in some indications.(18) Quinapril tablets contain a high percentage of magnesium and have been shown to decrease the absorption of tetracycline by 28-37%.(19) Lanthanum is expected to interact with tetracyclines as well.(20) |

| Penicillamine, Oral/Polyvalent Cations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Penicillamine chelates with polyvalent cations such as aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc in the GI tract reducing the absorption of the penicillamine. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Reduced (to 30% of fasting) bioavailability of penicillamine with decreased pharmacologic response. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: In order to assure systemic absorption and maximal effectiveness from penicillamine, counsel patient to separate penicillamine by at least 1 hour before or 1 hours after any medications or products containing polyvalent cations such as antacids or mineral supplements. Monitor clinical status for decreased effectiveness and adjust the penicillamine dose if necessary. DISCUSSION: Clinical studies with polyvalent cations have not been conducted. Multivitamins with low doses of cations including iron and zinc may decrease penicillamine absorption so insure patient is aware of the risks. |

| Slt Cation-Donating Antacids/Polystyrene Sulfonate SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Polystyrene sulfonate may bind the cation from the antacid, resulting in increased intestinal absorption of non-neutralized bicarbonate, which may result in systemic alkalosis and decreased potassium binding by polystyrene sulfonate. Intestinal obstruction has occurred with aluminum hydroxide because of concretion. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous oral use may result in metabolic alkalosis and a decrease in the potassium lowering effect of polystyrene sulfonate. Intestinal obstruction has been reported with aluminum hydroxide. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Patients with renal failure may be at a higher risk of systemic alkalosis. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Consider the use of alternative agents to cation-donating antacids in patients receiving oral polystyrene sulfonate when possible. If concurrent use is required, separate the dosing by several hours.(1) Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. DISCUSSION: In a study in 11 patients with decreased renal function, the administration of magnesium hydroxide and sodium polystyrene sulfonate produced moderate to moderately severe metabolic alkalosis.(2) There are case reports documenting this affect as well.(3-7) Intestinal obstruction has been reported with aluminum hydroxide and sodium polystyrene sulfonate.(8) If the polystyrene sulfonate is administered rectally, a clinically significant interaction is not likely to occur. |

| Itraconazole; Ketoconazole/Agents Affecting Gastric pH SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Antacids, buffers in didanosine products, H2 antagonists, and proton-pump inhibitors increase the stomach pH. Quinapril tablets may contain a high percentage of magnesium. Since some orally administered azole antifungal agents require an acidic medium for optimal absorption, agents may decrease the absorption of azole antifungal agents. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of an antacid, buffered didanosine, a H2 antagonist, or a proton-pump inhibitor may result in decreased therapeutic effects of the azole antifungal. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If the concurrent administration of these two agents cannot be avoided, consider administering two capsules of glutamic acid hydrochloride 15 minutes before administering the antifungal and separate the administration times of the antifungal and the agent affecting gastric pH by at least two hours. DISCUSSION: Itraconazole, ketoconazole, and posaconazole require an acidic medium for predictable dissolution and absorption decreases as pH increases and proton pump inhibitors are expected to decrease their absorption.(1-4) In a study in 11 healthy subjects, omeprazole (40 mg daily) decreased the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of itraconazole (200 mg single dose) by 66% and 64%, respectively.(5) In a study in 15 healthy subjects, omeprazole (40 mg daily) had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of itraconazole solution.(6) In a study in 9 healthy subjects, omeprazole (60 mg) decreased the AUC of ketoconazole (200 mg single dose) by 83.4% compared to control (ketoconazole alone). Administration of Coca-Cola (240 ml) with ketoconazole and omeprazole raised ketoconazole AUC to 65% of control values.(7) Omeprazole has been shown to have no significant effect on the absorption of fluconazole(8) or voriconazole.(9) Case reports and in-vivo studies have documented significant decreases in ketoconazole levels during concurrent therapy with H-2 antagonists, including cimetidine and ranitidine. Concurrent administration of itraconazole and famotidine resulted in a significant decrease in itraconazole levels, but no significant changes in famotidine levels. An interaction should be expected to occur between both ketoconazole or itraconazole and the other H-2 antagonists.(10-14) In randomized, open-labeled, cross-over study in 12 healthy subjects, simultaneous administration of an antacid decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of a single dose of itraconazole (200 mg) by 66% and 70%, respectively. Time to Cmax (Tmax) increased by 70%.(15) This interaction has also been reported in a case report.(16) In a study in 3 subjects, simultaneous administration of a combination aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide (30 ml) decreased the AUC of a single dose of ketoconazole (200 mg) by 41%.(172) In a case report, a patient receiving concurrent ketoconazole with aluminum hydroxide, cimetidine, and sodium bicarbonate did not respond to therapy until cimetidine was discontinued and the administration time of aluminum hydroxide and cimetidine was changed to 2 hours after ketoconazole. In a follow-up study in 2 subjects, concurrent cimetidine and sodium hydroxide lowered ketoconazole levels.(18) In a study in 14 subjects, simultaneous administration of aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide (20 ml, 1800 mg/1200 mg) had no significant effects on fluconazole pharmacokinetics.(3) In a randomized, open-label, cross-over study in 6 subjects, simultaneous administration of itraconazole with buffered didanosine tablets resulted in undetectable levels of itraconazole.(19) In a randomized cross-over study in 12 HIV-positive subjects, administration of buffered didanosine tablets 2 hours after ketoconazole had no effects on ketoconazole levels.(20) In a randomized, cross-over, open-label study in 24 healthy subjects, simultaneous administration of enteric-coated didanosine had no effect on ketoconazole pharmacokinetics.(21) One or more of the drug pairs linked to this monograph have been included in a list of interactions that could be considered for classification as "non-interruptive" in EHR systems. This DDI subset was vetted by an expert panel commissioned by the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology. |

| Mycophenolate/Aluminum & Magnesium Antacids; Lanthanum; Sevelamer SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aluminum or magnesium antacids and non-calcium containing phosphate binders such as lanthanum and sevelamer decrease the absorption of mycophenolate.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The simultaneous administration of mycophenolate with aluminum or magnesium antacids and non-calcium containing phosphate binders such as lanthanum and sevelamer may decrease the levels of mycophenolate and its clinical effects. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of mycophenolate mofetil states that calcium free phosphate binders, such as sevelamer, should not be administered simultaneously with mycophenolate mofetil. Administer sevelamer at least 2 hours after administration of mycophenolate mofetil to decrease the extent of the interaction.(1) The US manufacturer of mycophenolate sodium states that mycophenolate sodium should not be administered simultaneously with antacids. Administer aluminum or magnesium containing antacids at least 2 hours after mycophenolate.(2) Close monitoring of mycophenolic acid levels may be warranted in patients on mycophenolate mofetil therapy that are initiating or discontinuing concurrent therapy with these agents. Patients on concurrent therapies may also require higher doses of mycophenolate mofetil in order to achieve desired blood levels. DISCUSSION: In a study in 10 rheumatoid arthritis patients, the simultaneous administration of mycophenolate and Maalox TC (an antacid containing magnesium and aluminum hydroxide) resulted in decreases in the maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) of mycophenolate by 33% and 17%, respectively.(1,2) In a study of 3 adult patients and 6 pediatric patients with stable renal graft function receiving mycophenolate mofetil, sevelamer (3-4 capsules of 403 mg twice daily) decreased the AUC and Cmax of mycophenolic acid by 26% and 36%, respectively.(1,3) In a study in 12 stable renal transplant patients, administration of magnesium-aluminum-containing antacids (30 ml) increased the Cmax and AUC of a single dose of mycophenolate sodium by 25% and 37%, respectively.(2) |

| Gabapentin/Aluminum; Magnesium-Containing Compounds SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aluminum or magnesium containing products may reduce the bioavailability of gabapentin.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of aluminum or magnesium containing products and gabapentin may result in decreased absorption of gabapentin by 20% and reduce its clinical effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If the use of both medications is unavoidable, it is recommended that gabapentin be taken at least 2 hours following the administration of aluminum or magnesium containing products.(1) DISCUSSION: In 16 subjects, Maalox reduced the bioavailability of gabapentin by about 20%. The reduction was only 5% when gabapentin was administered 2 hours after the Maalox dose. It is for this reason that the manufacturer of gabapentin recommends that it be taken at least 2 hours after the administration of aluminum or magnesium containing products.(1) |

| Amprenavir; Atazanavir/Antacids; Buffered Formulations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Antacids increase gastric pH. As gastric pH increases, the solubility of atazanavir decreases.(1,2) The exact mechanism behind the interaction between amprenavir and antacids is unknown. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of amprenavir or atazanavir with antacids or buffered formulations may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of amprenavir(3) and atazanavir.(1,2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of amprenavir states that amprenavir should be administered 1 hour before or after antacids or buffered formulations such as didanosine.(3) The manufacturer of atazanavir states that atazanavir should be administered 2 hours before or 1 hour after antacids or buffered formulations.(1,2) Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. DISCUSSION: Simultaneous administration of atazanavir with didanosine buffered tablets decreased atazanavir area-under-curve (AUC), maximum concentration (Cmax) and minimum concentration (Cmin) by 87%, 89% and 84%, respectively. Administration of atazanavir 1 hour after didanosine buffered tablets had no significant effect on atazanavir pharmacokinetics.(1) Other buffered formulations and antacids are expected to substantially decrease atazanavir concentrations and therapeutic effectiveness as well.(1,2) |
ATAZANAVIR SULFATE, EVOTAZ, REYATAZ |
| Selected Cephalosporins/Aluminum; Magnesium Compounds SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aluminum and magnesium containing antacids may form chelation complexes with some cephalosporins, preventing their absorption.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of an aluminum and/or magnesium containing antacid with some cephalosporins may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of the cephalosporin.(1,2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of cefdinir recommends that cefdinir be taken at least 2 hours before or after an aluminum and/or magnesium containing antacid.(1) It would be prudent to separate the administration of cefaclor by at least this amount of time as well.(2) DISCUSSION: Simultaneous administration of cefdinir (300 mg) with Maalox TC (30 ml) decreased cefdinir area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 40%.(1) In a study in 15 healthy subjects, simultaneous administration of cefaclor advanced formulation (500 mg) with Maalox TC decreased the extent of cefaclor absorption.(2) |
CEFACLOR, CEFACLOR ER, CEFDINIR |
| Oral Bisphosphonates/Oral Multivalent Cations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Multivalent cations may bind to and inhibit the absorption of oral bisphosphonates.(1-6) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of products containing multivalent cations may result in decreased levels of and clinical effects from oral bisphosphonates.(1-6) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Instruct patients to separate the administration times of products containing multivalent cations and oral bisphosphonates. Manufacturer recommendations regarding the separation of administration times of oral bisphosphonates and multivalent cations vary. Do NOT give multivalent cation-containing products: - until at least 30 minutes after taking alendronate(1) - within 2 hours of etidronate(2) - until at least 1 hour after taking ibandronate(3) - until at least 30 minutes after taking risedronate(4) - within 2 hours of tiludronate(5) DISCUSSION: Multivalent cations may bind to and inhibit the absorption of oral bisphosphonates, resulting in decreased levels of and clinical effects from these agents.(1-6) Administration of aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids 1 hour before tiludronate decreased the bioavailability of tiludronate by 60%.(5) |

| Oral Iron Supplements/Antacids and Selected Minerals SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Some antacids may bind to iron, preventing its absorption. Alterations in gastric pH by antacids may also play a role. Iron may bind to other minerals such as calcium, manganese, tin, and zinc in the GI tract. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of an antacid or minerals may decrease the absorption of orally administered iron. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: The interaction with some combinations may be affected by the presence or absence of food. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Iron supplements should not be taken within 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids, calcium, manganese, or zinc.(1) Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. DISCUSSION: Magnesium hydroxide has been shown to inhibit the absorption of elemental iron,(2) although other studies have shown conflicting results.(3,4) Sodium bicarbonate has been shown to decrease the absorption of iron by 50%.(3) In a study in 61 healthy subjects, calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate inhibited iron absorption when taken with food. However, in the fasted state, calcium carbonate had no effect on iron absorption. In the fasted state, calcium citrate and calcium phosphate decreased iron absorption by 49% and 62%, respectively,(6) In a study in 23 healthy subjects, calcium acetate and calcium carbonate decreased the area-under-curve (AUC) of elemental iron (65 mg) by 27% and 19%, respectively.(7) In a study, manganese decreased iron absorption. A ratio of 5:1 of zinc:iron decreased iron absorption by 56%.(8) In a study, inorganic iron decreased zinc absorption.(9) In another study, ferrous sulfate decreased the absorption of zinc sulfate in a concentration dependent manner; however, heme chloride had no effect on zinc sulfate.(10) In a study in premature infants, administration of liquid zinc and iron supplements between feedings decreased iron uptake; however, no effect was seen when the supplements were mixed with feedings.(11) One or more of the drug pairs linked to this monograph have been included in a list of interactions that could be considered for classification as "non-interruptive" in EHR systems.

| Selected Oral Quinolones/Selected Oral Cations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Aluminum, calcium, iron, lanthanum, magnesium, and zinc may form chelation compounds with the quinolones.(1-40) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration or administration of products containing aluminum, calcium, iron, lanthanum, magnesium, and/or zinc close to the administration time of an oral quinolone may result in decreased absorption and clinical effectiveness of the quinolone. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If possible, avoid concurrent therapy with quinolones and cation-containing products. If it is necessary to administer these agents concurrently, follow the manufacturers' recommendations regarding timing of administration of the quinolone and cation-containing products. Manufacturer recommendations regarding the separation of administration times of quinolones and products containing aluminum, calcium, iron, lanthanum, magnesium, and/or zinc vary: ---Do not give ciprofloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after oral cations.(1) ---Do not give delafloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after oral cations.(2) ---Do not give enoxacin for at least 2 hours before or 8 hours after oral cations.(3) ---Do not give levofloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral cations.(4) ---Do not give nalidixic acid for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral cations.(5) ---Do not give norfloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral cations.(6) ---Do not give ofloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral cations.(7) ---Do not give sparfloxacin for at least 4 hours before oral cations.(8) ---Do not give sitafloxacin for at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after oral cations.(9) The US manufacturer of lanthanum recommends that quinolones be taken at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after lanthanum;(10) however, it would be prudent to follow the specific quinolone manufacturers' recommendations regarding concurrent administration of cations. The US manufacturer of ferric maltose recommends separation of ferric maltose by at least 4 hours.
