Can You Take PNV 27-Ca/Fe/FA with Tiludronate?

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

Food significantly decreases the levels of tiludronate. Tiludronate should be administered on an empty stomach with 6 to 8 ounces of plain water at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after food. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication.

Bisphosphonates may cause local irritation of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa. Esophagitis and esophageal ulcers and erosions, occasionally with bleeding, as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers, have been reported, primarily with alendronate. Because of their structural similarities, therapy with all bisphosphonates should be administered cautiously in patients with active upper gastrointestinal disorders. The usual precautions should be followed closely to minimize the risk of irritation (i.e. taking the medication with a full glass of water after arising for the day and remaining upright for at least 30 minutes afterwards and until the first food intake of the day). Therapy should be discontinued if dysphagia, odynophagia or retrosternal pain occurs. The manufacturer of alendronate considers its use to be contraindicated in patients with abnormalities of the esophagus that may delay esophageal emptying, such as stricture or achalasia.

The use of bisphosphonates is contraindicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in patients with hypocalcemia. These agents increase bone mineral density, a process that requires an adequate supply of calcium in the body. Following the initiation of therapy, a short-term reduction in serum calcium and phosphate levels usually occurs due to inhibition of bone resorption, especially in patients with Paget's disease, in whom the pretreatment rate of bone turnover may be greatly elevated. Hypocalcemia and other disturbances of mineral metabolism, such as vitamin D deficiency, should be treated prior to initiation of therapy. Appropriate intake of calcium and vitamin D should be ensured throughout the course of treatment.

Tiludronate is primarily eliminated by the kidney. The plasma half-life of the drug is prolonged in patients with impaired renal function. Tiludronate is not recommended for use in patients with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min due to a lack of clinical experience in this setting. No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (CrCl >= 30 mL/min).
