MANGANESE - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Antibiotics (Quinolone antibiotics) interacts with MANGANESE

Manganese can attach to quinolones in the stomach. This decreases the amount of quinolones that can be absorbed by the body. Taking manganese along with some quinolones might decrease their effectiveness. To avoid this interaction, take manganese supplements at least one hour after quinolone antibiotics. Some quinolones include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), and others.

Antibiotics (Tetracycline antibiotics) interacts with MANGANESE

Manganese can attach to tetracyclines in the stomach. This decreases the amount of tetracyclines that can be absorbed by the body. Taking manganese with tetracyclines might decrease the effectiveness of tetracyclines. To avoid this interaction, take manganese two hours before or four hours after taking tetracyclines. Some tetracyclines include demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Minocin), and tetracycline (Achromycin).

Medications for mental conditions (Antipsychotic drugs) interacts with MANGANESE

Antipsychotic drugs are taken by some people to treat mental illnesses. Some researchers believe that taking certain antipsychotic drugs along with manganese might worsen side effects of manganese in some people.

  • General: No recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for manganese have been established. When there are no RDAs for a nutrient, the Adequate Intake (AI) is used as a guide. The AI is the estimated amount of the nutrient that is used by a group of healthy people and assumed to be adequate. The daily Adequate Intake (AI) levels for manganese are: men age 19 and older, 2.3 mg; women 19 and older, 1.8 mg; pregnant women age 14 to 50, 2 mg; breastfeeding women, 2.6 mg.
  • Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL), the highest level of intake at which unwanted side effects are not expected, for manganese have been established. The daily ULs for manganese are: for adults 19 years and older (including pregnant and breast-feeding women), 11 mg.
