Cholestyramine and Syntest D.S.
Determining the interaction of Cholestyramine and Syntest D.S. and the possibility of their joint administration.
In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.MONITOR: Coadministration with bile-acid binding resins such as cholestyramine may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects of estrogens and progestins. The proposed mechanism involves delaying or reducing the absorption of concomitant orally administered drugs by cholestyramine. In addition, it has also been suggested that bile-acid binding resins may interfere with the enterohepatic recycling of estrogens and therefore increase their elimination. MANAGEMENT: Estrogens and/or progestin-containing oral medications should be administered at least one hour before or four to six hours after bile-acid binding resins such as cholestyramine, colestipol, and colesevelam. Patients receiving this combination should be advised to closely follow dosing schedules to prevent loss of therapeutic effects. References "Product Information. Questran (cholestyramine)."
