Can I take Adefovir Dipivoxil with Famotidine?

Since adefovir is eliminated by the kidney, coadministration of adefovir dipivoxil with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase serum concentrations of either adefovir and/or these coadministered drugs [See Clinical Pharmacology ].

This is general interaction text from the label of a product that contains Adefovir Dipivoxil. It does not mention Famotidine, so it does not show how Adefovir Dipivoxil and Famotidine affect each other. The verdict above comes from the GoDavaii interaction dataset. Ask your pharmacist to check both medicines' labels before you combine them.

Questions to ask your pharmacist

• Does Adefovir Dipivoxil change how Famotidine works, or the other way round?
• Should I take Adefovir Dipivoxil and Famotidine at different times of day?
• Which side effects should I watch for while taking both?
• Is there a better option if this combination does not suit me?

• Always tell your doctor/pharmacist about ALL medicines you take - prescriptions, OTC, supplements, and herbal products.
• Keep a current medicine list with doses and timings - photo on your phone is enough.
• Read medicine labels for timing (with food / empty stomach) before combining.
• Even 'safe' combinations need monitoring - note any unusual symptoms in the first few days.
• Use GoDavaii AI to double-check before adding any new medicine, supplement, or desi ilaaj.
