Drug and food interactions
ferrous gluconate food
Applies to: Ferate (ferrous gluconate)
Food may reduce the absorption and blood levels of ferrous gluconate. In addition, some oral medications can also interfere with ferrous gluconate absorption into the bloodstream, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Likewise, ferrous gluconate may interfere with the absorption of other orally administered medications. You should take ferrous gluconate on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. 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. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. 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.
linaclotide food
Applies to: Linzess (linaclotide)
Taking linaclotide with food may increase gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and gas. The absorption of any other oral medication you may take can be affected if you develop frequent or severe diarrhea. To reduce the risk of gastrointestinal intolerance, linaclotide should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes prior to the first meal of the day. 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.
