Ferus Pic-150 and Trientine Capsules

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.

Trientine can bind to iron in the gastrointestinal tract. This may inactivate the iron and also interfere with the absorption of trientine into the bloodstream. The effectiveness of both medications may be reduced. To avoid or minimize the interaction, the dosing times of trientine and iron polysaccharide (or any other iron-containing medication) should be separated by at least two hours. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The oral bioavailability of trientine and iron or other minerals may be decreased during concurrent administration. The proposed mechanism is chelation of trientine by polyvalent cations, forming an insoluble complex that is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

MANAGEMENT: In general, mineral supplements and other products containing minerals should not be used in patients treated with trientine. However, iron deficiency may develop, particularly in children and menstruating or pregnant women. If necessary, iron may be given in short courses, provided that administration times are separated by at least two hours.
