Drug Interactions between Bonisara and HalfLytely and Bisacodyl
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Bonisara (cyanocobalamin/folic acid/pyridoxine/strontium gluconate)
- HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl/polyethylene glycol 3350/potassium chloride/sodium bicarbonate/sodium chloride)
Interactions between your drugs
sodium bicarbonate bisacodyl
Applies to: HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride) and HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride)
Using bisacodyl together with sodium bicarbonate may alter the effects of bisacodyl. Bisacodyl and sodium bicarbonate should be separated by at least one hour. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
bisacodyl polyethylene glycol 3350
Applies to: HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride) and HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride)
Using polyethylene glycol 3350 together with bisacodyl may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as ulcerations in the colon and ischemic colitis (an inflammatory condition caused by reduced blood flow to the colon due to narrowed or blocked blood vessels). Although these side effects are relatively rare, they may be potentially serous and life-threatening, particularly ischemic colitis. Nonetheless, certain bowel cleansing regimens given prior to a colonoscopy may require the concurrent use of a stimulant laxative such as bisacodyl in order to be fully effective. You should avoid using these medications together unless specifically recommended or prescribed by your doctor. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
potassium chloride cyanocobalamin
Applies to: HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride) and Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)
Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.
sodium bicarbonate strontium gluconate
Applies to: HalfLytely and Bisacodyl (bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride) and Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)
Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.
Drug and food interactions
folic acid food
Applies to: Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)
Talk to your doctor before using alcohol together with folic acid. Excessive consumption of alcohol may reduce the absorption and increase the elimination of folic acid. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
strontium gluconate food
Applies to: Bonisara (cyanocobalamin / folic acid / pyridoxine / strontium gluconate)
Strontium gluconate should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal and preferably at bedtime unless otherwise directed by your doctor. You may experience reduced absorption of strontium gluconate in the presence of food or milk. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication.
