Drug overview for OYSTER SHELL CALCIUM 500 (calcium carbonate):
Generic name: calcium carbonate
Drug class: Calcium
Therapeutic class: Electrolyte Balance-Nutritional Products
Calcium salts are used as a source of calcium, an essential nutrient cation.
Calcium salts are used as a source of calcium cation for the treatment or prevention of calcium depletion in patients in whom dietary measures are inadequate. Conditions that may be associated with calcium deficiency include hypoparathyroidism, achlorhydria, chronic diarrhea, vitamin D deficiency, steatorrhea, sprue, pregnancy and lactation, menopause, pancreatitis, renal failure, alkalosis, and hyperphosphatemia. Administration of certain drugs (e.g., some diuretics, anticonvulsants) may sometimes result in hypocalcemia which may warrant calcium replacement therapy.
Calcium should be administered in long-term electrolyte replacement regimens and is also recommended for the routine prophylaxis of hypocalcemia during transfusions with citrated blood. Administration of calcium salts should not preclude the use of other measures intended to correct the underlying cause of calcium depletion.

The following dosing information is available for OYSTER SHELL CALCIUM 500 (calcium carbonate):
Dosage of the oral calcium supplements is usually expressed in grams or mg of elemental calcium and depends on the requirements of the individual patient. Dosage of parenteral calcium replacements is usually expressed as mEq of calcium and depends on individual patient requirements. One mEq of elemental calcium is equivalent to 20 mg.
See Table 1 for the approximate calcium content of the various calcium salts.
Table 1.
Calcium Salt Calcium Content calcium acetate 253 mg (12.7 mEq) per g calcium carbonate 400 mg (20 mEq) per g calcium chloride 270 mg (13.5 mEq) per g calcium citrate 211 mg (10.6 mEq) per g calcium gluceptate 82 mg (4.1 mEq) per g calcium gluconate 90 mg (4.5 mEq) per g calcium glycerophosphate 191 mg (9.6 mEq) per g calcium lactate 130 mg (6.5 mEq) per g calcium phosphate dibasic anhydrous 290 mg (14.5 mEq) per g calcium phosphate dibasic dihydrate 230 mg (11.5 mEq) per g calcium phosphate tribasic 400 mg (20 mEq) per g
Oral calcium supplements usually are administered in 3 or 4 divided doses daily. Optimum calcium absorption may require supplemental vitamin D in individuals with inadequate vitamin D intake, those with impaired renal activation of the vitamin, or those not receiving adequate exposure to sunlight.
If calcium administration is necessary during cardiac arrest, an IV dose of 0.109-0.218 mEq/kg (repeated as necessary) using calcium chloride has been recommended.
Alternatively, adults have been given IV calcium doses of 7-14 mEq using calcium chloride. However, routine administration of calcium in patients with cardiac arrest is not recommended. (See Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support under Uses: Parenteral Preparations.)
If administration of calcium is indicated for the treatment of hypocalcemia, calcium-channel blocker overdosage, hypermagnesemia, or hyperkalemia during pediatric resuscitation, experts recommend a pediatric IV or IO+ calcium dose of 0.272 mEq/kg using calcium chloride. In critically ill children, calcium chloride may provide a greater increase in ionized calcium than calcium gluconate.
The appropriate dose should be administered by slow IV or IO+ injection.
When calcium acetate is used orally to control hyperphosphatemia in adults with chronic renal failure, the recommended initial dosage is 1.334 g of calcium acetate (338 mg of calcium) with each meal. Dosage may be increased gradually according to serum phosphate concentrations, provided hypercalcemia does not occur.
The manufacturer states that most patients require about 2-2.67 g (about 500-680 mg of calcium) with each meal. However, some experts state that the dosage of calcium provided by calcium-containing phosphate binders should not exceed 1.5
g daily and that the total calcium intake (including dietary calcium) should not exceed 2 g daily. These experts state that dialysis patients who remain hyperphosphatemic despite such therapy should receive a calcium-containing phosphate binder in combination with a non-calcium-, non-aluminum-, non-magnesium-containing phosphate binder. The manufacturer recommends that serum calcium concentrations be monitored twice weekly during initiation of calcium acetate therapy and subsequent dosage adjustment; serum phosphorus concentrations also should be monitored periodically.
If hypercalcemia occurs, dosage should be reduced or the salt should be withheld. If severe hypercalcemia occurs, specific measures (e.g., hemodialysis) for the management of overdosage may be necessary. Patients should be advised of the importance of dosage compliance, adherence to instructions about diet, and avoidance of concomitant use of antacids or other preparations containing clinically important concentrations of calcium.
Patients also should be advised of potential manifestations of hypercalcemia.
For the treatment of hyperkalemia with secondary cardiac toxicity, 2.25-14 mEq of calcium may be administered IV while monitoring the ECG. Doses may be repeated after 1-2 minutes if necessary.
Magnesium intoxication in adults is treated initially with 7 mEq of IV calcium; subsequent doses should be adjusted according to patient response. Alternatively, for the treatment of hypermagnesemia in adults, an IV calcium dose of 6.8-13.6
mEq using 10% calcium chloride (5-10 mL) has been administered, and repeated as necessary.
For the treatment of drug-induced cardiovascular emergencies associated with calcium-channel blocking agent toxicity in pediatric patients, an IV calcium dose of 0.272 mEq/kg using 10% calcium chloride (0.2 mL/kg) has been administered over 5-10 minutes; if a beneficial effect was observed, an IV calcium infusion of 0.27-0.68
mEq/kg per hour using calcium chloride has been administered. Ionized calcium concentrations should be monitored to prevent hypercalcemia.
Calcium is also administered IV during exchange transfusions in neonates in a dosage of 0.45 mEq of calcium after every 100 mL of citrated blood exchanged. In adults receiving transfusions of citrated blood, about 1.35
mEq of calcium should be administered IV concurrently with each 100 mL of citrated blood.
In the calcium infusion test+, calcium is given IV in a dosage of 0.25 mEq/kg per hour for a 3-hour period; serum gastrin concentrations are determined 30 minutes before the infusion, at the start of the infusion, and at 30-minute intervals thereafter for 4 hours. In most patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, preinfusion serum gastrin concentrations increase by more than 50% or by greater than 500 pg/mL during the infusion.
In the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma+, about 7 mEq of calcium is given IV over 5-10 minutes. In patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma, plasma calcitonin concentrations are elevated above normal basal concentrations.
See Table 1 for the approximate calcium content of the various calcium salts.

In the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma+, about 7 mEq of calcium is given IV over 5-10 minutes. In patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma, plasma calcitonin concentrations are elevated above normal basal concentrations.
The acetate, carbonate, citrate, gluconate, lactate, and phosphate salts of calcium are administered orally. It has been recommended that most oral calcium supplements be administered 1-1.5 hours after meals or with a demulcent (e.g., milk).
However, calcium carbonate powder (i.e., CAL CARB-HD(R)) should generally be administered with meals, since the manufacturer recommends mixing the powder with food for administration. Calcium salts used to bind dietary phosphate in patients with end-stage renal disease should be administered with meals (e.g., 10-15 minutes before, or during, the meal). Calcium chloride and calcium gluconate may be administered IV.
Calcium chloride also may be administered by intraosseous (IO) injection+ in the setting of pediatric resuscitation; onset of action and systemic concentrations are comparable to those achieved with venous administration. Parenteral calcium salts may be administered in large volume IV infusion fluids. IV calcium injections must be administered slowly at a rate not exceeding 0.7-1.8
mEq/minute, and the injection should be stopped if the patient complains of discomfort. Following IV injection, the patient should remain recumbent for a short time. Close monitoring of serum calcium concentrations is essential during IV administration of calcium.
Calcium chloride should not be injected IM or into subcutaneous or perivascular tissue, since severe necrosis and sloughing may occur. Although other calcium salts may cause mild to severe local reactions, they are generally less irritating than calcium chloride. (See Cautions.) The fixed combination of calcium glycerophosphate and calcium lactate is injected IM.
Although some manufacturers previously stated that calcium gluconate could be injected IM when IV administration was not possible, manufacturers of calcium gluconate currently state that the drug should not be injected IM or into subcutaneous tissue because of the potential for severe local reactions. In children, calcium salts should not be administered through scalp veins. Oral administration of calcium supplements or calcium-rich foods should replace parenteral calcium therapy as soon as possible.
The interaction of calcium and phosphate in parenteral nutrition solutions is a complex phenomenon; various factors have been identified as playing a role in the solubility or precipitation of a given combination. Calcium salts are conditionally compatible with phosphate in parenteral nutrition solutions; incompatibility is dependent on a solubility and concentration phenomenon and is not entirely predictable. Precipitation may occur during compounding or at some time after compounding is completed. Specialized references should be consulted for specific compatibility information.

| 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) 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) |

| Raltegravir (600 mg HD)/Calcium Carbonate SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Calcium carbonate may alter raltegravir absorption by altering gastric pH and binding to raltegravir in the GI tract, preventing its absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Calcium carbonate may reduce levels and clinical effectiveness of raltegravir.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Calcium carbonate is not recommended for patients receiving one daily raltegravir (600 mg HD tablets).(1) DISCUSSION: Simultaneous administration of calcium carbonate (3000 mg) with raltegravir (1200 mg singe dose given as two 600 mg HD tablets) decreased raltegravir maximum concentration (Cmax), area-under-curve (AUC), and minimum concentration (Cmin) by 74%, 72%, and 48%, respectively.(1,2) Administration of calcium carbonate (3000 mg) 12 hours after raltegravir (1200 mg singe dose given as two 600 mg HD tablets) decreased raltegravir Cmax, AUC, and Cmin by 2%, 10%, and 57%, respectively.(1,2) Data from in vitro(3) and in vivo simulations(4) suggest that magnesium's effect on raltegravir may involve chelation as well as changes in pH. Calcium may have a similar effect. |
ISENTRESS HD |
| Erdafitinib/Serum Phosphate Level-Altering Drugs SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Medications that alter serum phosphate may interfere with interpretation of phosphate levels that are needed to determine initial erdafitinib dose.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Serum phosphate levels that are elevated by concomitant medications may result in an inappropriately low dose and decreased effectiveness of erdafitinib. Serum phosphate levels that are decreased by concomitant medications may result in an inappropriately high dose and increased toxicity from erdafitinib. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of erdafitinib states that agents that alter serum phosphate levels should be avoided before the initial dose increase period for erdafitinib based on serum phosphate levels (days 14 to 21).(1) DISCUSSION: Concomitant administration of serum phosphate level-altering agents during the initial dose increase period of erdafitinib based on serum phosphate levels (days 14 to 21) may interfere with serum phospate levels and lead to incorrect dosing of erdafitinib.(1) Agents that may alter serum phosphate levels linked to this monograph include: aluminum carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, cod liver oil, ferric citrate, lanthanum, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, potassium phosphate, sevelamer, sodium phosphate, sucroferric oxyhydroxide, tenapanor, and vitamin D.(1) |

| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| 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) 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. |
KIONEX, SODIUM POLYSTYRENE SULFONATE, SPS |
| 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. |

| Thyroid Preparations/Calcium; Iron; Sucralfate SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The mechanism by which malabsorption of thyroid preparations occurs from calcium-containing products is presumed to be a binding of the medication to the thyroid hormone, forming an insoluble or nonabsorbable complex.(1-3) Iron may form a ferric-thyroxine complex with thyroid agents, preventing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.(1,4) Sucralfate binds to other agents in the gastrointestinal tract and alters absorption of other drugs, including thyroid agents.(1,5) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The simultaneous administration of thyroid preparations with calcium, iron, or sucralfate may result in decreased levels and clinical effects of thyroid preparations.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Instruct patients to separate the administration time of thyroid preparations from calcium or iron by as much time as possible, preferably by at least four hours.(1) Administer thyroid preparations at least 2 hours before sucralfate.(5) Patients taking thyroid preparations and calcium- or iron-containing products or sucralfate should be monitored for changes in thyroid function. The dosage of the thyroid preparation may need to be increased. Separating the administration times of the thyroid preparation and the calcium- or iron-containing products or sucralfate may decrease the effects of the interaction.(1-5) DISCUSSION: In a pharmacokinetic study 8 healthy, euthyroid adults were given levothyroxine alone and levothyroxine coadministered with calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or calcium acetate in doses containing 500 mg elemental calcium. The coadministration of each of the three calcium preparations significantly reduced levothyroxine absorption by about 20%-25% compared with levothyroxine given alone.(3) In a study in 14 subjects, the simultaneous administration of thyroxine with ferrous sulfate for 12 weeks resulted in an increase in the mean level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from 1.6+/-0.4 mU/L to 5.4+/-2.8 mU/L. Mixing thyroxine with ferrous sulfate in vitro resulted in a poorly soluble complex.(4) In a study in 20 hypothyroid patients, the simultaneous administration of levothyroxine and calcium carbonate (1200 mg) daily for three months resulted in reductions in the mean free T4 and total T4 levels. These values increased in most patients following the discontinuation of calcium carbonate. A concurrent in-vitro study found that calcium carbonate adsorbed levothyroxine in solution at a pH of 2, gastric pH, but not at a pH of 7.4.(6) One author reported three cases of decreased levothyroxine efficacy following the addition of calcium carbonate to therapy.(7) In a study in 5 healthy subjects, levothyroxine (five 200 mcg tablets) was administered in 3 different dosing regimens: after an overnight fast, with the fifth and final dose of sucralfate (1 gram every 6 hours) and 8 hours after the second and final dose of sucralfate (2 grams every 12 hours). When administered alone, 80% of levothyroxine was absorbed within 6 hours of administration, compared to 23% when administered concurrently with sucralfate. There was no difference in levothyroxine absorption when administered alone or 8 hours after sucralfate.(8) There are several case reports documenting decreased effects of thyroid supplementation as the result of simultaneous administration of sucralfate.(9,10) 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.

| 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.(1-39) 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) The US manufacturer of lanthanum recommends that quinolones be taken at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after lanthanum;(9) however, it would be prudent to follow the specific quinolone manufacturers' recommendations regarding concurrent administration of cations. For quinolones not listed above, separate their administration from oral cations by as much time as feasible. DISCUSSION: Aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc products have been shown to form chelation compounds with quinolone antibiotics, resulting in decreased absorption of the quinolone.(1-38) Treatment failures have been reported.(10-12) In a study in 12 healthy subjects, simultaneous administration of didanosine chewable tablets, which contain aluminum and magnesium, decreased ciprofloxacin area-under-curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 92% and 98%, respectively.(13) The administration of ciprofloxacin 2 hours prior to Videx chewable/dispersible tablets decreased ciprofloxacin concentrations by 26%.(14,15) In a study in healthy subjects, pretreatment with an antacid containing aluminum-magnesium hydroxide at 5-10 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours before a single dose of ciprofloxacin decreased ciprofloxacin AUC by 84.9%, 76.8%, and 30%, respectively. There was no effect when the antacid was administered 6 hours before or 2 hours after.(16) In a study in 12 healthy subjects, aluminum hydroxide decreased ciprofloxacin AUC by 85%.(17) In a study in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, peak levels of ciprofloxacin were decreased by 67% to 92% in patients receiving aluminum-containing antacids.(18) In a study in 15 healthy subjects, simultaneous administration of calcium acetate decreased the bioavailability of ciprofloxacin by 51%.(19) In a study in 6 healthy males, simultaneous administration of calcium carbonate decreased ciprofloxacin Cmax and AUC by 40% and 43%, respectively.(20) In a study in 12 healthy subjects, calcium carbonate decreased ciprofloxacin AUC by 40%.(17) In a study in 13 healthy males, calcium carbonate had no effect on ciprofloxacin bioavailability when administered 2 hours prior to the antibiotic.(21,22) In a study in healthy males, simultaneous administration of calcium polycarbophil decreased ciprofloxacin AUC by 50%.(23) In a study in 8 healthy males, simultaneous administration of ferrous fumarate (200 mg) decreased ciprofloxacin AUC by 70%.(24) In a study in healthy subjects, ferrous gluconate decreased ciprofloxacin bioavailability by 50%; however, no significant effects were seen with iron-ovotransferrin.(25) In a study in 8 healthy subjects, ferrous sulfate decreased the Cmax and AUC of simultaneously administered ciprofloxacin by 54% and 57%, respectively.(26) In a study in 8 healthy subjects, administration of ferrous sulfate decreased the Cmax and AUC of ciprofloxacin by 33% and 46%, respectively.

| Selected Cephalosporins/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Absorption of oral cefuroxime may be reduced in patients receiving concomitant treatment with acid reducing agents.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Antibiotic efficacy against organisms with a high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to cefuroxime could be decreased. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Taking cefuroxime on an empty stomach magnifies this effect. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Separate the administration of cefuroxime by at least 1-2 hours after administration of antacids. Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. Since concurrent use of H2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients taking cefuroxime should be avoided, these would not be alternatives to antacids in these patients. DISCUSSION: In a study performed prior to the introduction of PPIs, administration of ranitidine 300 mg and sodium bicarbonate followed by cefuroxime taken on a empty stomach lowered both Cmax and AUC of cefuroxime by approximately 40 per cent compared with administration of cefuroxime alone on an empty stomach. Postprandial administration of cefuroxime in subjects taking ranitidine was similar to that of subjects taking cefuroxime on an empty stomach.(2) |

| Infigratinib; Selpercatinib/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The solubility of infigratinib and selpercatinib is pH dependent. Antacid-induced changes in gastric pH may decrease the absorption of infigratinib and selpercatinib.(1,2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of antacids may result in decreased levels and effectiveness of infigratinib and selpercatinib.(1,2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid the use of antacids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and H2 antagonists, in patients receiving treatment with infigratinib or selpercatinib. If coadministration with antacids cannot be avoided, take infigratinib or selpercatinib at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the antacid.(1,2) If the antacid is replaced with a H2 antagonist, take infigratinib or selpercatinib 2 hours before or 10 hours after the H2 antagonist.(1,2) If the antacid is replaced with a PPI, take selpercatinib with food.(2) DISCUSSION: Infigratinib is practically insoluble at pH 6.8.(1) Selpercatinib solubility is pH dependent.(2) Antacids may decrease the solubility and absorption of infigratinib and selpercatinib and decrease their effectiveness. |

| Cabotegravir/Polyvalent Cations SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Cabotegravir chelates polyvalent cations such as aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of cabotegravir and polyvalent cations may decrease the absorption and clinical effects of cabotegravir.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The US manufacturer of cabotegravir states that it should be administered at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after any medications or products containing polyvalent cations such as antacids or mineral supplements.(1) DISCUSSION: Clinical studies have not been conducted. Prescribing information states cabotegravir levels may be decreased when coadministered with antacids containing polyvalent cations (examples include aluminum or magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate) suggesting cabotegravir is susceptible to chelation.(1) |
VOCABRIA |
| Sotorasib/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The aqueous solubility of sotorasib is pH dependent. Higher gastric pH leads to lower solubility which may reduce sotorasib absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Coadministration of antacids may reduce the bioavailability of sotorasib, leading to decreased systemic levels and effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of sotorasib with proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and antacids should be avoided. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent is unavoidable, take sotorasib 4 hours before or 10 hours after a locally acting antacid.(1) DISCUSSION: The solubility of sotorasib in the aqueous media decreases over the range pH 1.2 to 6.8 from 1.3 mg/mL to 0.03 mg/mL. In an interaction study, coadministration of repeat doses of omeprazole with a single dose of sotorasib decreased sotorasib maximum concentration (Cmax) by 65% and area-under-curve (AUC) by 57% under fed conditions, and decreased sotorasib Cmax by 57% and AUC by 42% under fasted conditions. Coadministration of a single dose of famotidine given 10 hours prior to and 2 hours after a single dose of sotorasib under fed conditions decreased sotorasib Cmax by 35% and AUC by 38%.(1) |
LUMAKRAS |
| Levoketoconazole/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The aqueous solubility of levoketoconazole is pH dependent. Higher gastric pH leads to lower solubility. Antacids increase gastric pH and may decrease the absorption of levoketoconazole.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Coadministration of antacids may reduce the bioavailability of levoketoconazole, leading to decreased systemic levels and effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of levoketoconazole with proton pump inhibitors and H2 antagonists should be avoided. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent is unavoidable, take the antacid 2 hours before levoketoconazole.(1) DISCUSSION: Levoketoconazole is very slightly soluble in water but soluble below pH 2. Antacids raise gastric pH and may impair dissolution and absorption of levoketoconazole.(1) |
RECORLEV |
| Sparsentan/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The aqueous solubility of sparsentan is pH dependent. Higher gastric pH leads to lower solubility. Antacids increase gastric pH and may decrease the absorption of sparsentan.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Coadministration of antacids may reduce the bioavailability of sparsentan, leading to decreased systemic levels and effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent is unavoidable, take an antacid 2 hours before or 2 hours after sparsentan. Coadministration of sparsentan with proton pump inhibitors and H2 antagonists should be avoided.(1) DISCUSSION: Sparsentan is practically insoluble in water but has intrinsic solubility of 1.48 mg/mL and 0.055 mg/mL below pH 1.2 and 6.8, respectively. Antacids raise gastric pH and may impair dissolution and absorption of sparsentan.(1) |
FILSPARI |
| Nirogacestat/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: The aqueous solubility of nirogacestat is pH dependent. Higher gastric pH leads to lower solubility which may reduce nirogacestat absorption.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Coadministration of antacids may reduce the bioavailability of nirogacestat, leading to decreased systemic levels and effectiveness.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of nirogacestat with proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, and antacids should be avoided. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent is unavoidable, take nirogacestat 2 hours before or 2 hours after a locally acting antacid.(1) DISCUSSION: The solubility of nirogacestat is poor at a pH >= 6.(1) Concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, or antacids are expected to reduce concentrations of nirogacestat.(1) |
OGSIVEO |
| Vadadustat/Polyvalent Cations and Phosphate Binders SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Vadadustat may form a chelate with iron supplements, phosphate binders, and other medicinal products whose primary component consists of polyvalent cations such as aluminum, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Simultaneous administration of vadadustat and polyvalent cations and phosphate binders decreases the exposure and effectiveness of vadadustat.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of vadadustat states that it should be administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after any medications or products whose primary component consists of iron, phosphate binders and polyvalent cations.(1) DISCUSSION: Two studies evaluating the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of vadadustat coadministered with a phosphate binder or iron supplement were conducted in healthy adult participants. Vadadustat exposure was reduced by coadministration with sevelamer carbonate, calcium acetate, ferric citrate, and ferrous sulfate. Geometric least squares mean ratios for area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were reduced 37% to 55% by phosphate binders and 46% by ferrous sulfate. However, when vadadustat was administered 1 hour before phosphate binders, 90% confidence intervals for vadadustat exposure were within the no-effect boundaries of +50% to -33%, indicating that drug-drug interactions can be reduced by administering vadadustat 1 hour before phosphate binders.(2) |
VAFSEO |
| Cefpodoxime/Antacids SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Absorption of oral cefpodoxime may be reduced in patients receiving concomitant treatment with acid reducing agents.(1-3) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Antibiotic efficacy against organisms with a high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to cefpodoxime could be decreased. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Taking cefpodoxime on an empty stomach magnifies this effect. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Separate the administration of cefpodoxime by at least 1-2 hours after administration of antacids. Some vitamin preparations may contain sufficient quantities of calcium and/or magnesium salts with antacid properties to interact as well. Since concurrent use of H2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients taking cefpodoxime should be avoided, these would not be alternatives to antacids in these patients. DISCUSSION: In a study of ten subjects, administration of cefpodoxime after single dose famotidine 40 mg decreased both maximum concentration (Cmax) and area-under-curve (AUC) by approximately 40% compared with administration of cefpodoxime on an empty stomach.(2) In a study of 17 subjects, administration of cefpodoxime after single dose ranitidine 150 mg decreased Cmax and AUC by approximately 40% compared with administration of cefpodoxime on an empty stomach.(3) |
