Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

multivitamin with iron oxidronate

Applies to: Poly-Vita Drops with Iron (multivitamin with iron) and oxidronate

MONITOR: Administration of technetium (Tc 99m) oxidronate after chelating agents, diphosphonates, tetracyclines, or iron containing drugs may reduce the quality of the scintigraphic procedure by decreasing the accumulation of Tc 99m oxidronate in skeletal bone. The exact mechanism of the interaction is unknown; however, it may be related to the effects of the interacting drugs on bone homeostasis.

MANAGEMENT: Proceed with caution if chelating agents, diphosphonates, tetracyclines, and iron-containing drugs are used prior to technetium (Tc 99m) oxidronate. The quality of the resulting imaging may be reduced.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

multivitamin with iron food

Applies to: Poly-Vita Drops with Iron (multivitamin with iron)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concomitant use of some oral medications may reduce the bioavailability of orally administered iron, and vice versa.

Food taken in conjunction with oral iron supplements may reduce the bioavailability of the iron. However, in many patients intolerable gastrointestinal side effects occur necessitating administration with food.

MANAGEMENT: Ideally, iron products should be taken on an empty stomach (i.e., at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals), but if this is not possible, administer with meals and monitor the patient more closely for a subtherapeutic effect. Some studies suggest administration of iron with ascorbic acid may enhance bioavailability. In addition, administration of oral iron products and some oral medications should be separated whenever the bioavailability of either agent may be decreased. Consult the product labeling for specific separation times and monitor clinical responses as appropriate.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
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.
