Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

magnesium citrate fludeoxyglucose F-18

Applies to: Dulcolax Bowel Cleansing (bisacodyl / magnesium citrate) and fludeoxyglucose f18

MONITOR: Certain medications may interfere with the results of diagnostic studies using fludeoxyglucose F18 by increasing or decreasing uptake of the agent into tissues.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of possible diagnostic interference associated with the following medications: colony-stimulating factors may increase uptake in spleen and bone marrow; glucose-induced hyperglycemia may interfere with uptake; dopamine and insulin may decrease myocardial and tumor cell uptake; laxative-induced intestinal muscle activity and/or irritation may increase intestinal uptake. Separation of the diagnostic test and the interfering agent may be advisable in some instances. Package labeling and local protocols should be consulted for further information.

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.
