Interactions between your drugs

Major

calcium phosphate, tribasic burosumab

Applies to: Focalgin-B (calcium / folic acid / ginger / pyridoxine) and burosumab

Using burosumab together with calcium phosphate, tribasic is not recommended. Combining these medications may cause excessive elevations in phosphorus and vitamin D levels in the blood, which may lead to increased risk of kidney stones. Over time, you may also have bone and muscle problems as well as increased risk of heart attacks and strokes if the blood levels remain high. Most products containing phosphates and greater than nutritional allowances of vitamin D should generally be discontinued for one week before starting treatment with burosumab. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. During treatment, phosphorus blood levels should be closely monitored, which will allow your doctor to determine when a dose adjustment or an interruption in treatment may be required. 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.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

folic acid food

Applies to: Focalgin-B (calcium / folic acid / ginger / pyridoxine)

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.

Moderate

calcium phosphate, tribasic food

Applies to: Focalgin-B (calcium / folic acid / ginger / pyridoxine)

Calcium absorption may be increased by taking it with food. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption. Calcium may be taken with food to increase absorption. Consider spacing calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid. 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.
