Ospen K interactions
Ospen K should not be combined with bacteriostatic antibiotics. Combinations with other antibiotics should be considered if their effects can be expected to be synergistic or at least additive. The combination partners should be fully dosed. (Exception: In combination with a proven synergistic action, the dose of the more toxic combination partner may be reduced.) Competitive inhibition of drug elimination should be remembered, whenever anti-inflammatories, antirheumatics, antipyretics (particularly indomethacin, phenylbutazone, salicylates in high doses) or probenecid are used concomitantly. Ingestion of Ospen K with meals reduce the absorption of the drug. Like other antibiotics, Ospen K may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives. During treatment with Ospen K non-enzymatic urinary glucose tests and uribilinogen tests may be false-positive. Urinary amino acid quantitations with ninhydrin may also be false-positive.
