Interaction
Zinc salts reduce absorption of tetracyclines, copper (the drug should not be used earlier than 2 hours after taking these drugs).
Tiazide diuretics increase zinc excretion by the kidneys.
Pholic acid may slightly interfere with zinc absorption.
High doses of iron, penicillamine, and other complexing agents significantly reduce zinc absorption (should not be used before 2 hours after taking these drugs).
Complex preparations (e.g., multivitamin preparations with minerals containing zinc) – simultaneous use of several zinc-containing drugs may lead to high plasma zinc concentrations.
Diet rich in phosphates (e.g., dairy products), grain baked goods or vegetables – limit zinc absorption by binding into non-absorbable complexes; this type of food should be taken at least 2 hours after zinc salts are used.
