PreCare Drug Interactions (Cont.)

PreCare Drug Interactions Explained

The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when PreCare is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
 
Bisphosphonates
Some of the minerals in PreCare products may prevent bisphosphonates from being absorbed into the body. However, bisphosphonates are usually not recommended for pregnant women, so this is not usually a problem. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both PreCare and a bisphosphonate, be sure to take PreCare at least two hours after your bisphosphonate dose.
 
Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics
Some of the minerals in PreCare products may prevent fluoroquinolone antibiotics from being absorbed into the body. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both PreCare and a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, be sure to take the antibiotic at least two hours before, or six hours after, taking your PreCare dose.
 
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Some of the minerals in PreCare products may prevent tetracycline antibiotics from being absorbed into the body. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take both PreCare and a tetracycline antibiotic, be sure to take the antibiotic at least two hours before, or six hours after, taking your PreCare dose. Keep in mind that tetracycline antibiotics are usually not recommended for pregnant women.
 
Thyroid Medications
Some of the minerals in PreCare products may prevent thyroid medications from being absorbed into the body. If your healthcare provider recommends that you take PreCare and a thyroid medication together, be sure to separate these two medicines by at least four hours.
