When used as recommended no specific interactions are expected. However, potential interactions for single ingredients are reported in the literature, thus patients receiving any other medication or those under medical care should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medicinal product.
Drug-Drug Interaction: The absorption of iron may be decreased by concurrent administration with antacids, gastric acid suppressive medications, fluoroquinolone, bisphosphonates, levodopa, levothyroxine, penicillamine, tetracycline antibiotics or trientine. If simultaneous use of one of these medications is necessary, administration should be separated by 2 to 3 hours. Products containing calcium, magnesium, iron, copper or zinc may interact with orally administered antacids, antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones), levodopa, biphosphonates, penicillamine, thyroxine, trientine, digitalis, antiviral agents and thiazide diuretics. If simultaneous use is necessary, administration of the two products should be separated by 2 hours.
Drug-Food Interactions: Since oxalic acid (found in spinach and rhubarb) and phytic acid (found in whole cereals) may inhibit calcium absorption, it is not recommended to take this product within two hours of eating foods containing high oxalic acid or phytic acid concentrations.
