Interactions between your drugs
bacampicillin magnesium oxide
Applies to: bacampicillin and Prepopik (citric acid/magnesium oxide/sodium picosulfate)
Using bacampicillin together with magnesium oxide is not recommended. By reducing stomach acid, magnesium oxide can decrease the absorption and blood levels of bacampicillin and make the medication less effective against infections. You may need to stop taking magnesium oxide while you are being treated with bacampicillin, or your doctor may want to prescribe a different antibiotic. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
bacampicillin sodium picosulfate
Applies to: bacampicillin and Prepopik (citric acid/magnesium oxide/sodium picosulfate)
The laxative effect of sodium picosulfate may be decreased when used during or following treatment with bacampicillin. Your doctor may prescribe a substitute for sodium picosulfate that is not affected by treatment with bacampicillin. You should let your doctor know if you experience signs and symptoms of low magnesium or potassium blood level such as weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, tingling, numbness, muscle pain, cramps, nausea, or vomiting. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
