Interactions between your drugs
methenamine magnesium oxide
Applies to: UriSym (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and Clenpiq (citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate)
Magnesium oxide may reduce the effectiveness of methenamine in treating your condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. 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.
methenamine sodium picosulfate
Applies to: UriSym (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and Clenpiq (citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate)
The laxative effect of sodium picosulfate may be decreased when used during or following treatment with methenamine. Your doctor may prescribe a substitute for sodium picosulfate that is not affected by treatment with methenamine. You should let your doctor know if you experience signs and symptoms of low magnesium or potassium blood level such as weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, tingling, numbness, muscle pain, cramps, nausea, or vomiting. 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.
phenyl salicylate magnesium oxide
Applies to: UriSym (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and Clenpiq (citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate)
Using magnesium oxide together with phenyl salicylate may decrease the effects of phenyl salicylate. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. 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.
phenyl salicylate sodium picosulfate
Applies to: UriSym (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and Clenpiq (citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate)
If you are currently receiving treatment with phenyl salicylate, let your doctor know before you take sodium picosulfate. Bowel cleansing can cause dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities, and the risk may be increased if you also use phenyl salicylate or other medications that can affect kidney function. In severe cases, dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities can lead to irregular heart rhythm, seizures, and kidney problems. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use both medications. You should use sodium picosulfate exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and drink plenty of clear fluids before, during, and after the cleansing process to keep yourself hydrated. Contact your doctor if you experience signs and symptoms of low electrolyte levels such as weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, tingling, numbness, muscle pain, cramps, nausea, or vomiting. 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.
Drug and food interactions
sodium picosulfate food
Applies to: Clenpiq (citric acid/magnesium oxide/sodium picosulfate)
Oral medications may not be properly absorbed when they are taken within one hour before starting sodium picosulfate for bowel cleansing. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to see if you should adjust the dosing schedule of your other medications before you begin bowel cleansing treatment. 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.
hyoscyamine food
Applies to: UriSym (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate)
Ask your doctor before using hyoscyamine together with ethanol. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking hyoscyamine. You should be warned not to exceed recommended dosages and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment to safely take this combination. 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.
