Relevance: 09.08.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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:

Ask your doctor before using magnesium hydroxide together with trientine. Using mineral supplements or mineral-containing products may decrease the effects of trientine and should not be used if you are treated with trientine. 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent oral administration of mineral supplements or mineral-containing products may block the absorption of trientine, and vice versa. The mechanism is trientine chelation of polyvalent metal ions resulting in a nonabsorbable complex.

MANAGEMENT: In general, mineral supplements or mineral-containing products (e.g., antacids) should not be used in patients treated with trientine.
