Consumer:

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Oral preparations that contain magnesium, aluminum, or calcium may significantly decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of nalidixic acid. Absorption may also be reduced by sucralfate, which contains aluminum, as well as other polyvalent cations such as iron and zinc. The mechanism is chelation of nalidixic acid by polyvalent cations, forming a complex that is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. MANAGEMENT: When coadministration cannot be avoided, nalidixic acid should be dosed at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after polyvalent cation-containing products to minimize the potential for interaction.
