Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

citric acid gatifloxacin

Applies to: citric acid / glucono-delta-lactone / magnesium carbonate topical and Tequin Teqpaq (gatifloxacin)

Talk to your doctor before using citric acid together with gatifloxacin. Citric acid can change the acidity of your urine, which may cause gatifloxacin to crystallize and form stones. This may also occur if you are dehydrated, so you should drink plenty of fluids during treatment with gatifloxacin. Let your doctor know if you experience flank pain, painful urination, or blood in the urine. 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.

Moderate

magnesium carbonate gatifloxacin

Applies to: citric acid / glucono-delta-lactone / magnesium carbonate topical and Tequin Teqpaq (gatifloxacin)

Gatifloxacin and magnesium carbonate should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of gatifloxacin into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. If possible, it may be best to avoid taking magnesium carbonate while you are being treated with gatifloxacin. Otherwise, gatifloxacin should be taken 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after a magnesium carbonate dose, gatifloxacin should be taken at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium/potassium/sodium sulfates), or gatifloxacin and magnesium carbonate should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether your medications contain something that could potentially interact or if you have questions on 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.
