Sintesi
Magnesium in antacids chelates ciprofloxacin in the gut and markedly reduces its absorption. This can lead to subtherapeutic antibiotic levels and treatment failure or resistance.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Ciprofloxacin and Magnesium hydroxide can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Ciprofloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Magnesium hydroxide belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.
Perché avviene
Chelation of ciprofloxacin by polyvalent magnesium cations in the gastrointestinal tract reduces absorption.
