Mechanism of Sucralfate-Omadacycline Interaction (Severity Level: Moderate)
Complex formation Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph
Drug Name		Sucralfate				Omadacycline
Mechanism		Polyvalent cations				Binds to 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 Sucralfate due to formation of complexes caused by Omadacycline

Recommended Action
Management		To minimize the potential for interaction, tetracyclines should be administered at least 2 hours before sucralfate.
