Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

codeine pheniramine

Applies to: codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate and codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate

MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Sedation and impairment of attention, judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills may increase.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Cautious dosage titration may be required, particularly at treatment initiation. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Moderate

sodium citrate ferrous fumarate

Applies to: codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate and Ed Cyte F (ferrous fumarate / folic acid)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The bioavailability of orally administered iron may be reduced by concomitant administration of antacids or other agents with acid-neutralizing effects. The exact mechanism is unknown but may involve reduced iron solubility due to increase in gastric pH and/or reduced absorption due to complexation or precipitation of the iron. Based on existing data, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate appear to have greater effects than antacids containing magnesium and aluminum hydroxides. In a study of patients with mild iron deficiency anemia, coadministration of ferrous sulfate with sodium bicarbonate 1 gram and calcium carbonate 500 mg reduced iron absorption by 50% and 67%, respectively, while 5 mL of an antacid containing magnesium and aluminum hydroxides had little effect. Another study also found no effect on iron absorption when ferrous sulfate (equivalent to 10 mg/kg of elemental iron) was coadministered with magnesium hydroxide (1 mg for every 5 mg of elemental iron ingested) in a group of healthy, fasting male subjects. In contrast, absorption of iron from ferrous sulfate and ferrous fumarate tablets was reduced by 37% and 31%, respectively, following administration of an antacid containing magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminum hydroxide in a study of healthy, iron-replete volunteers. Similarly, in a study of nine patients, coadministration of 5 mg of ferrous sulfate with a 35 gram dose of magnesium trisilicate was found to reduce iron absorption by an average of more than 70%. The interaction reportedly does not occur in the presence of ascorbic acid, which may competitively bind with iron and prevent the interference with iron absorption.

MANAGEMENT: To minimize the potential for interaction, it may be appropriate to administer oral iron preparations at least two hours apart from antacids or other agents with acid-neutralizing effects.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

folic acid food

Applies to: Ed Cyte F (ferrous fumarate/folic acid)

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.

pheniramine food

Applies to: codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Moderate

ferrous fumarate food

Applies to: Ed Cyte F (ferrous fumarate/folic acid)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concomitant use of some oral medications may reduce the bioavailability of orally administered iron, and vice versa.

Food taken in conjunction with oral iron supplements may reduce the bioavailability of the iron. However, in many patients intolerable gastrointestinal side effects occur necessitating administration with food.

MANAGEMENT: Ideally, iron products should be taken on an empty stomach (i.e., at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals), but if this is not possible, administer with meals and monitor the patient more closely for a subtherapeutic effect. Some studies suggest administration of iron with ascorbic acid may enhance bioavailability. In addition, administration of oral iron products and some oral medications should be separated whenever the bioavailability of either agent may be decreased. Consult the product labeling for specific separation times and monitor clinical responses as appropriate.

codeine food

Applies to: codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate

GENERALLY AVOID: Ethanol may potentiate the central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of opioid analgesics. Concomitant use may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In more severe cases, hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, or even death may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of opioid analgesics with ethanol should be avoided.

Moderate

phenylephrine food

Applies to: codeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

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.
