v-lax and Fludeoxyglucose f18 Interactions

Interactions between v-lax(psyllium) and Fludeoxyglucose f18 (fludeoxyglucose F18)

psyllium and fludeoxyglucose F18 (Moderate Drug-Drug)

MONITOR: Certain medications may interfere with the results of diagnostic studies using fludeoxyglucose F18 by increasing or decreasing uptake of the agent into tissues.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of possible diagnostic interference associated with the following medications: colony stimulating factors may increase uptake in spleen and bone marrow; glucose-induced hyperglycaemia may interfere with uptake; dopamine and insulin may decrease myocardial and tumour cell uptake; laxative-induced intestinal muscle activity and/or irritation may increase intestinal uptake.
