This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate/famotidine/magnesium hydroxide)
- ampicillin/probenecid
Interactions between your drugs
ampicillin probenecid
Applies to: ampicillin / probenecid and ampicillin / probenecid
Probenecid may increase the plasma concentrations and half-lives of penicillins. The mechanism is competitive inhibition by probenecid of the renal tubular secretion of penicillins. While this interaction is often exploited to enhance the antibacterial effect of penicillins, toxicity may occur and should be considered if high penicillin dosages are administered intravenously.

probenecid famotidine
Applies to: ampicillin / probenecid and Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
Probenecid may inhibit the tubular secretion of famotidine and thereby increase its pharmacologic effects. The clinical significance of this interaction is uncertain.

famotidine calcium carbonate
Applies to: Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide) and Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
Antacids and some aluminum, calcium, and magnesium salts may decrease the plasma concentrations of H2-receptor antagonists during oral coadministration. The mechanism of interaction is unknown, but may involve reduced oral absorption due to increased gastric pH. Study data vary, with no changes to nearly 60% reductions in systemic exposures (AUCs) reported for cimetidine, famotidine, and ranitidine. The clinical significance has not been established. As a precaution, patients may consider taking H2-receptor antagonists one to two hours before antacids.

Drug and food interactions
ampicillin food
Applies to: ampicillin / probenecid
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Certain penicillins may exhibit reduced gastrointestinal absorption in the presence of food. The therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial may be reduced.
MANAGEMENT: The interacting penicillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals.

calcium carbonate food
Applies to: Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the absorption of calcium. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption.
MANAGEMENT: Calcium may be administered with food to increase absorption. Consider withholding calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid.

famotidine food
Applies to: Acid Controller Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
H2 antagonists may reduce the clearance of nicotine. Cimetidine, 600 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance of an intravenous nicotine dose by 30%. Ranitidine, 300 mg given twice a day for two days, reduced clearance by 10%. The clinical significance of this interaction is not known. Patients should be monitored for increased nicotine effects when using the patches or gum for smoking cessation and dosage adjustments should be made as appropriate.
