Summary
Omadacycline absorption falls when it is taken with polyvalent cation products, which can lower its effectiveness. Molybdenum is not a classic chelating multivalent cation, so any effect is likely small. It is still a theoretical concern with some mineral supplements that contain other minerals.
What this interaction means in plain words
Molybdenum and Omadacycline have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Molybdenum belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Omadacycline belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Why it happens
Possible chelation of the tetracycline in the gut, which reduces absorption, though this is not well established for molybdenum.
What to do
Take omadacycline on an empty stomach and separate it from mineral supplements, including those containing molybdenum, by at least 4 hours after the dose, per labeling for cation products.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
- Do I need to tell my doctor at the next visit?
