Drug Interaction Report

Sucralfate and omadacycline should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain aluminum such as sucralfate may interfere with the absorption of omadacycline into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. To minimize the potential for interaction, you should take omadacycline at least 2 hours before sucralfate. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have questions on how to take these 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.

When sucralfate is given with enteral (tube) feedings, the feeding tube may become clogged and/or sucralfate may not work as well. You could interrupt the feeding for 1 hour before and after the sucralfate dose. However, this still may not entirely avoid the interaction and may not always be feasible. 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.

Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, or antacids within 4 hours before or after taking omadacycline. These products can make omadacycline less effective in treating your infection. Omadacycline should be taken at least 2 hours before (4 hours for dairy products) or 4 hours after meals. Dairy products can make it harder for your body to absorb the medication.
