- Choledyl (oxtriphylline)
Interactions between your drugs
oxtriphylline charcoal
Applies to: Choledyl (oxtriphylline), Charcodote (charcoal)
GENERALLY AVOID: Charcoal may reduce the absorption of many drugs and can absorb enterohepatically circulated drugs. Clinical utility may be the reduction either of the effects or of the toxicity of many drugs. Activated charcoal may adsorb any therapeutic agents administered while it is in the gastrointestinal tract.
MANAGEMENT: The regular ingestion of charcoal should be avoided by patients requiring maintenance medications. If concomitant use is necessary, the dosage or route of administration may need to be altered.
