Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Concomitant administration of antacids can reduce the bioavailability of misoprostol acid, the active metabolite of misoprostol. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. In twelve study subjects, coadministration of misoprostol with antacid reduced the bioavailability of misoprostol acid by 16% relative to fasting. Clinical trials of misoprostol conducted with concomitant antacid use suggest that this effect is not clinically important.
