Using Mastical D with Other Medications
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medication.
If you are also taking tetracyclines (a type of antibiotic), you should take them at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after taking Mastical D. Calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline preparations if taken at the same time.
Medications containing bisphosphonates (used to treat osteoporosis) should be taken at least 1 hour before taking Mastical D.
Calcium may reduce the effect of levothyroxine (used to treat thyroid deficiency). For this reason, levothyroxine should be taken at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking this medication.
The effects of some antibiotics (quinolones) may be reduced if taken at the same time as calcium. For this reason, quinolones should be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Mastical D.
Calcium salts may decrease the absorption of iron, zinc, and strontium ranelate. Consequently, iron, zinc, or strontium ranelate preparations should be taken at least 2 hours before or after Mastical D.
Orlistat (used to treat obesity) may alter the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D3.
Other medications that may interact with Mastical D are:
- thiazide diuretics (used to treat high blood pressure or edema)
- cardiac glycosides (used to treat heart conditions)
If you are using any of the mentioned medications, your doctor will provide further instructions.
