STRONTIUM - Uses, Side Effects, and More

Antacids interacts with STRONTIUM

Antacids are used to decrease stomach acid. They can decrease strontium absorption. To avoid this interaction, take antacids at least two hours after taking strontium products. Some antacids include calcium carbonate (Tums, others), dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate (Rolaids, others), magaldrate (Riopan), aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel), aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide combinations (Maalox, Mylanta), and others.

Antibiotics (Quinolone antibiotics) interacts with STRONTIUM

Strontium can attach to some antibiotics called quinolones in the stomach. This decreases the amount of quinolones that can be absorbed. Taking strontium with quinolones might decrease their effectiveness. To avoid this interaction, take strontium at least 2 hours before or after taking quinolones. Some quinolone antibiotics include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin, moxifloxacin (Avelox), and others.

Antibiotics (Tetracycline antibiotics) interacts with STRONTIUM

Strontium can attach to some antibiotics called tetracyclines in the stomach. This decreases the amount of tetracyclines that can be absorbed. Taking strontium with tetracyclines can decrease their effects. To avoid this interaction, take strontium at least 2 hours before or after taking tetracyclines. Some tetracycline antibiotics include demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Minocin), and tetracycline.

Estrogens interacts with STRONTIUM

Estrogens might decrease how fast the body gets rid of strontium. This could cause the body to have too much strontium and potentially cause side effects. Some estrogen pills include conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin), ethinyl estradiol, estradiol, and others.

Male hormones (Androgens) interacts with STRONTIUM

Male hormones (Androgens) might decrease how fast the body gets rid of strontium. This could cause the body to have too much strontium and potentially cause side effects. Some male hormones include testosterone, nandrolone, oxandrolone, and oxymetholone.

• For weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis): 0.5-2 grams of strontium ranelate has been taken daily for up to 10 years. The highest dose of 2 grams daily seems to work the best.
• For ostearthritis: 1-2 grams of strontium ranelate has been taken daily for up to 3 years.

• For cancer that has spread to bone and causes pain. Healthcare providers administer strontium through the vein for bone pain due to cancer.
• Prostate cancer. Healthcare providers administer strontium through the vein for prostate cancer.
