Drug and food/lifestyle interactions
lanthanum carbonate food/lifestyle
Applies to: lanthanum carbonate
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.
