Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nafcillin omadacycline

Applies to: Unipen (nafcillin) and omadacycline

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Tetracyclines may reduce the effect of penicillins by inhibiting cellular protein synthesis which is necessary for cell wall synthesis inhibition by penicillins. Antagonism is more likely when low doses of either agent are administered. Therapeutic failure may result.

MANAGEMENT: This combination should be avoided if possible.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nafcillin food

Applies to: Unipen (nafcillin)

You may experience reduced absorption of nafcillin in the presence of food. The effectiveness of the antibiotic may be reduced. Nafcillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals.

Moderate

omadacycline food

Applies to: omadacycline

Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, or antacids within 4 hours before or after taking omadacycline. These products can make omadacycline less effective in treating your infection. Omadacycline should be taken at least 2 hours before (4 hours for dairy products) or 4 hours after meals. Dairy products can make it harder for your body to absorb the medication.
