Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Sodium polystyrene sulfonate and Sorbitol 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.
