Consumer:Talk to your doctor before using sodium polystyrene sulfonate together with meloxicam. When sodium polystyrene sulfonate is used with products containing sorbitol, damage to the tissues in the intestine may occur. The condition can be fatal in severe cases. Oral suspensions of some medications may contain sorbitol. If you are taking a liquid preparation of meloxicam or other medication, check the label to be sure it does not contain sorbitol. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist. 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: The concomitant oral or rectal use of sorbitol with polystyrene sulfonate exchange resins may result in colonic necrosis. Fatalities have occurred when uremic patients received sodium polystyrene sulfonate/sorbitol enemas. The mechanism is unknown and causality has not been clearly established. Sorbitol is also present in some oral suspensions (e.g., Mobic, brand of meloxicam).
MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, the concurrent use of sorbitol as a vehicle or otherwise should generally be avoided in patients receiving polystyrene sulfonate exchange resins.
