Polyvalent cations |
| Key Mechanism Factor 1 |
| Factor Name |
Chelation |
| Factor Description |
Chelation is a direct drug interaction that usually involves the formation of dimers or trimers, resulting in larger complexes and poorer absorption. |
| Mechanism Description |
- Decreased absorption of Magnesium carbonate due to formation of complexes caused by Nitrofurantoin
