Moderate Food Interaction

GENERALLY AVOID: Lanthanum carbonate should be administered with food for therapeutic efficacy. However, it is insoluble in water (<0.01 mg/mL at pH 7.5) and therefore cannot be dissolved in liquid for administration through an enteral feeding tube, because it may result in blockage of the tube.

MANAGEMENT: Administration of lanthanum carbonate with enteral feedings is not recommended. Alternative medications such as calcium carbonate suspension should be considered.
