Moderate interactions (9)

  • CiprofloxacinfluoroquinoloneModerate

    Sevelamer has demonstrated interaction with ciprofloxacin, mycophenolate mofetil, and therefore, these drugs should be dosed separately from sevelamer carbonate. (Sevelamer label, Drug interactions)

  • CyclosporineimmunosuppressantModerate

    For oral medication where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, levothyroxine), consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . (Sevelamer label, Drug interactions)

  • Folic acid (folate)Vitamin and mineralModerate

    Reductions in Vitamins D, E, K (clotting factors) and Folic Acid Levels In preclinical studies in rats and dogs, sevelamer hydrochloride, which contains the same active moiety as sevelamer carbonate, reduced vitamins D, E, and K (coagulation parameters) and folic acid levels at doses of 6–10 times the recommended human dose. (Sevelamer label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Levothyroxinethyroid hormoneModerate

    For oral medication where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, levothyroxine), consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . (Sevelamer label, Drug interactions)

  • Liothyroninethyroid hormoneModerate

    For oral medication where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, levothyroxine), consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . (Sevelamer label, Drug interactions)

  • Methimazoleantithyroid drugModerate

    For oral medication where a reduction in the bioavailability of that medication would have a clinically significant effect on its safety or efficacy (e.g., cyclosporine, tacrolimus, levothyroxine), consider separation of the timing of the administration of the two drugs [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Not medical advice. Severity reflects the label's wording, not your circumstances. A "major" flag can be routine under supervision and a "minor" one can matter at high doses. Ask a pharmacist.
