Resumo
Sodium picosulfate is a prodrug that must be converted to its active form by colonic bacteria. Antibiotics that suppress gut flora may reduce this conversion and lead to a less effective bowel cleansing before colonoscopy.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Cefixime and Sodium picosulfate / magnesium oxide / anhydrous citric acid can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Por que acontece
Antibiotic suppression of colonic bacteria reduces conversion of picosulfate to its active laxative metabolite.
O que fazer
If possible, avoid starting the antibiotic until after the bowel preparation has been completed. Assess the quality of bowel cleansing and be prepared to use an additional preparation if it is inadequate.
