Interactions between your drugs
penicillAMINE lanthanum carbonate
Applies to: D-Penamine (penicillamine) and lanthanum carbonate
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Theoretically, lanthanum carbonate may chelate with certain drugs in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in reduced oral bioavailability of those drugs during coadministration. However, an in vitro study involving digoxin, enalapril, furosemide, metoprolol, phenytoin, and warfarin found no evidence that lanthanum carbonate forms insoluble complexes with these drugs in simulated gastric fluid. Studies in healthy subjects have also found no effect of lanthanum carbonate (1000 mg for 4 doses) on the absorption of a single dose of digoxin (0.5 mg), metoprolol (100 mg), or warfarin (10 mg).
MANAGEMENT: To minimize the potential for interaction, drugs that are known to interact with antacids (e.g., ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, bisphosphonates, coumarin derivatives, digitalis glycosides, fluoroquinolones, iron, phenytoin, rifampin, tetracyclines, thyroid preparations) should not be taken within 2 hours of administration of lanthanum carbonate according to the product labeling.

Drug and food interactions
penicillAMINE food
Applies to: D-Penamine (penicillamine)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of penicillamine. In a study of six healthy volunteers, administration of penicillamine (500 mg) following a standard breakfast reduced the mean peak plasma concentrations of penicillamine by 48% compared to administration in the fasting state.
MANAGEMENT: Penicillamine should be administered on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals, and at least one hour apart from any other drug, food, or milk. This permits maximum absorption and reduces the likelihood of inactivation by metal binding in the gastrointestinal tract.

lanthanum carbonate food
Applies to: lanthanum carbonate
GENERALLY AVOID: Lanthanum carbonate should be administered with food for therapeutic efficacy. However, it is insoluble in water (<0.01 mg/mL at pH 7.5) and therefore cannot be dissolved in liquid for administration through an enteral feeding tube, because it may result in blockage of the tube.
MANAGEMENT: Administration of lanthanum carbonate with enteral feedings is not recommended. Alternative medications such as calcium carbonate suspension should be considered.

penicillAMINE food
Applies to: D-Penamine (penicillamine)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Oral administration of aluminum, copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, and possibly other minerals such as calcium may decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of penicillamine, and vice versa. The proposed mechanism involves chelation of penicillamine to polyvalent cations, which leads to formation of a nonabsorbable complex. In a study of six healthy volunteers, administration of penicillamine (500 mg) following a single dose of ferrous sulfate (300 mg) or antacid (Maalox Plus 30 mL) reduced the mean peak plasma concentration of penicillamine by 65% and 34%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. In addition to chelation, some investigators suggest that antacids may also reduce penicillamine bioavailability by increasing gastric pH, which favors the oxidation of penicillamine to its poorly absorbed disulfide form. These changes could result in diminished therapeutic effects of penicillamine.
MANAGEMENT: Mineral supplements or other products containing polyvalent cations (e.g., antacids or preparations containing antacids such as didanosine buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution) should be administered at least two hours before or two hours after the penicillamine dose. In addition, pharmacologic response to penicillamine should be monitored more closely whenever these products are added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the penicillamine dosage adjusted as necessary. When penicillamine is coadministered with Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium/potassium/sodium sulfates), the manufacturer recommends administering penicillamine at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after Suprep Bowel Prep to avoid chelation with magnesium.
