Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dicloxacillin guar gum

Applies to: Pathocil (dicloxacillin) and NutriSource (guar gum)

Talk to your doctor before using guar gum together with dicloxacillin. Products containing guar gum can interfere with the absorption of dicloxacillin when it is taken orally. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need to separate the dosing times of each medication by as much as possible. Contact your doctor if your infection worsens. 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.
