Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

trientine multivitamin with iron

Applies to: Syprine (trientine) and Geravim (multivitamin with iron)

Trientine can bind to iron in the gastrointestinal tract. This may inactivate the iron and also interfere with the absorption of trientine into the bloodstream. The effectiveness of both medications may be reduced. To avoid or minimize the interaction, the dosing times of trientine and multivitamin with iron (or any other iron-containing medication) should be separated by at least two hours. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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.

Applies to: Syprine (trientine)

Take trientine on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal and at least one hour apart from any other food, drug, or milk.

Moderate

multivitamin with iron food

Applies to: Geravim (multivitamin with iron)

Food may reduce the absorption and blood levels of multivitamin with iron. In addition, some oral medications can also interfere with multivitamin with iron absorption into the bloodstream, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Likewise, multivitamin with iron may interfere with the absorption of other orally administered medications. You should take multivitamin with iron 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.

trientine food

Applies to: Syprine (trientine)

Mineral supplements or mineral-containing medications such as multivitamin with minerals can bind to trientine in the gastrointestinal tract, which may reduce the absorption of both trientine and the mineral. It is best to avoid taking these medications together when possible. However, if you must take both, you should try to separate the times of administration by at least two hours. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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.
