Summary

Multivalent cations can chelate oral tetracyclines and reduce absorption. Plain thiamine contains little multivalent cation, so a significant effect is unlikely unless the product is combined with minerals.

What this interaction means in plain words

Omadacycline and Vitamin b1 have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.

Omadacycline belongs to Anti Bacterial; Vitamin b1 belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Evidence level: Low

Why it happens

Chelation by multivalent cations in the gut would reduce tetracycline absorption; thiamine itself is not a significant chelator.

What to do

If thiamine is in a mineral-containing multivitamin, separate it from oral omadacycline according to the omadacycline labeling.
