Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

alendronate strontium gluconate

Applies to: alendronate and Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Products containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium and other polyvalent cations such as antacids or vitamin with mineral supplements are likely to interfere with the gastrointestinal absorption of oral bisphosphonates. For example, the bioavailability of tiludronate has been shown to decrease 80% during simultaneous administration with calcium, and 60% when aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids were administered one hour before tiludronate.

MANAGEMENT: Antacids or other oral medications containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium and other polyvalent cations should be administered at least 30 minutes after the bisphosphonate dose.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

folic acid food

Applies to: Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)

MONITOR: Ethanol may increase folic acid elimination and folic acid absorption is decreased in chronic alcoholics. Excessive alcohol consumption may lead to folate deficiency.

MANAGEMENT: Monitoring of patient response to folic acid supplementation if they also consume alcohol regularly may be recommended.

Moderate

alendronate food

Applies to: alendronate

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly decreases the bioavailability of alendronate, possibly to negligible levels.

MANAGEMENT: Alendronate should be administered with 6 to 8 ounces of plain water, at least 30 minutes before the first food, beverage, or medication of the day. Patients should remain upright for at least 30 minutes following administration of alendronate.

Moderate

strontium gluconate food

Applies to: Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concomitant administration of strontium with food or milk products may decrease its bioavailability by 60% to 70%.

MANAGEMENT: Strontium salts should be taken at least two hours before or two hours after food or milk products, and preferably at bedtime.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
