MONITOR: Probiotic use during immunosuppressant or intense antineoplastic therapy may theoretically increase the risk of infections from the live microorganisms contained in probiotic products. Patients may be immunosuppressed if they have recently received or are receiving alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents, or long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids. Although probiotics are generally considered safe, with minimal to low pathogenicity, infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis with various strains commonly found in probiotics (e.g., lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, Bacillus subtilis) have been rarely reported, primarily in critically ill patients or patients with significant underlying medical conditions such as malignancy, organ transplantation, AIDS, valvular heart disease, diabetes mellitus, recent surgery, or compromised immune system. Lactobacillus bacteremia has also been reported following endoscopy. In addition, cases of lactobacillus pneumonia and liver abscess, as well as Saccharomyces fungemia, pneumonia, liver abscess, peritonitis and vaginitis, have been described in the medical literature.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when probiotics are used during immunosuppressant or intense antineoplastic therapy. It may be advisable to avoid using probiotics, particularly products containing saccharomyces boulardii, in patients who are significantly immunosuppressed unless benefits are anticipated to outweigh the potential risk of infection.
Drug and food interactions
cholecalciferol food
Applies to: cholecalciferol / lactobacillus reuteri
Treatment with cholecalciferol may require you to adjust your dietary intake of foods which contain natural or added calcium, phosphate (organic and inorganic), and vitamin D. Ingesting too much vitamin D or having elevated calcium and/or phosphorus levels in the blood and urine can lead to toxic effects, such as having an irregular heart rhythm, seizures, kidney stones, and eventual calcification of your blood vessels, cornea and/or the soft tissues in your body. Your doctor will monitor the levels of calcium and phosphorus in your blood during treatment with cholecalciferol. Please speak with your healthcare team to determine if you require a specialized diet, particularly if you have reduced kidney function, and to discuss any other questions or concerns you have. You may require additional monitoring or a dose adjustment of cholecalciferol if your diet changes. Fortified foods will state on their labeling how much calcium, phosphate, and/or vitamin D has been added. The National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements also provides information on which foods contain calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. You should avoid abrupt changes in your dietary calcium intake and seek medical attention if you experience early symptoms of vitamin D intoxication such as weakness, fatigue, headache, drowsiness, vertigo, ringing in the ears, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, metallic taste, muscle pain, bone pain, muscle incoordination, and low muscle tone. Late symptoms may include frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, conjunctivitis ("pink eye"), light sensitivity, runny nose, itching, increased body temperature, and irregular heart rhythm. 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.
