Summary
Both are acidic compounds partly cleared by tubular secretion, so competition could slightly increase exposure to either. A clinically meaningful effect is not expected. The magnesium component may also bind cefdinir in the gut and reduce its absorption.
What this interaction means in plain words
Cefdinir and Choline magnesium trisalicylate have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Renal organic anion transport competition; magnesium may chelate cefdinir in the gut.
What to do
Separate cefdinir from the magnesium-containing product by at least 2 hours; otherwise no routine action is needed.
