There is 1 disease interaction with Vitamin K2 (menaquinone).

Moderate

Phytonadione (vit. K) (applies to Vitamin K2) hepatobiliary dysfunction

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Biliary Obstruction, Liver Disease

Phytonadione is fat soluble and requires bile for adequate intestinal absorption. Biliary dysfunction decreases the absorption of phytonadione. Phytonadione is metabolized by the liver and excreted in bile and urine. Hepatic and/or biliary impairment can alter the metabolic and therapeutic activity of phytonadione. Phytonadione will not correct hypoprothrombinemia due to hepatocellular dysfunction or damage and administration of excessive phytonadione may worsen hepatic function.
