Consumer:

Using sodium bicarbonate together with mycophenolate mofetil may decrease the effects of mycophenolate mofetil. You should separate the administration times of the medications by at least two hours. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. 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.

Professional:

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with antacids may decrease the oral bioavailability of mycophenolic acid. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown but may involve chelation with polyvalent ions in antacids or enhanced drug solubility induced by an increase in gastric pH, or both. The interaction has been reported with magnesium/aluminum-containing antacids.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with oral mycophenolic acid who require an antacid or antacid-containing preparation (e.g., didanosine buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution) should separate the administration times of the medications by at least two hours.
