Effect on laboratory tests
Biotifem MAX contains 10 mg of biotin per tablet. If the patient is to undergo laboratory tests, they must inform their doctor or laboratory personnel that they have recently taken Biotifem MAX, as biotin may interfere with the results of such tests. Depending on the test, the results may be falsely elevated or falsely low due to biotin.
The doctor may order the patient to stop taking Biotifem MAX before undergoing laboratory tests. It should also be remembered that other products being taken, such as multivitamin preparations or dietary supplements used to improve hair, skin, and nails, may also contain biotin and affect laboratory test results. If the patient is taking such products, they should inform their doctor or laboratory personnel.

This medicine contains 288.50 mg of isomalt in each tablet. If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking the medicine.

Biotifem MAX and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone) and alcohol cause a decrease in biotin blood levels.
Steroid hormones may accelerate biotin breakdown in tissues.
Valproic acid inhibits biotin breakdown (by reducing the activity of biotin-degrading enzymes).
Antibiotics may decrease biotin levels and potency (by affecting gut microflora).

Biotifem MAX with food, drink, or alcohol

While taking this medicine, the patient should not consume raw egg white, as it may inhibit biotin absorption.
Alcohol causes a decrease in biotin blood levels.

Pregnancy
