Drug Interaction Report

Medications like methylcellulose may interfere with the absorption of pyRIDostigmine. It may be preferable to avoid using methylcellulose during treatment with pyRIDostigmine, or separate their times of administration by as much as possible to minimize the potential for interaction. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist 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.

Methylcellulose may interact with other medications if given at the same time. This can cause your other medications to become less effective. In general, all oral medications should be administered at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after dosing of methylcellulose. Take methylcellulose with a full glass (at least 8 ounces) of cool water or another liquid. Taking methylcellulose without enough liquid may cause it to swell in the throat and cause choking.
