Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Plenachol Capsules if you: • Are undergoing treatment with certain medicines used to treat heart disorders (e.g. cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin). • Have sarcoidosis (an immune system disorder which may cause increased levels of vitamin D in the body). • Are taking medicines containing vitamin D, or eating foods or milk enriched with vitamin D. • Are likely to be exposed to a lot of sunshine whilst taking Plenachol Capsules. • Take additional supplements containing calcium. Your doctor will monitor your blood levels of calcium to make sure they are not too high whilst you are taking Plenachol Capsules. • Have kidney damage or disease. Your doctor may want to measure the levels of calcium in your blood or urine. If you are not sure if any of the above applies to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. Other medicines and Plenachol Capsules Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Taking some medicines together can be harmful. In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines: • Medicines that act on the heart or kidneys, such as cardiac glycosides (e.g. digoxin) or diuretics (e.g. bendroflumethiazide). When used at the same time as vitamin D these medicines may cause a large increase in the level of calcium in the blood and urine. • Medicines containing vitamin D or eating food rich in vitamin D, such as some types of vitamin D-enriched milk. • Actinomycin (a medicine used to treat some forms of cancer) and imidazole antifungals (e.g. clotrimazole and ketoconazole, medicines used to treat fungal disease). These medicines may interfere with the way your body processes vitamin D. • The following medicines because they can interfere with the effect or the absorption of vitamin D: • Antiepileptic medicines (such as phenytoin) or medicines to treat sleep disorders and epilepsy (barbiturates such as phenobarbitone). • Glucocorticoids (steroid hormones such as hydrocortisone and prednisolone). These can decrease the effect of vitamin D. • Medicines that lower the level of cholesterol in the blood (such as cholestyramine or colestipol). • Certain medicines for weight loss that reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs (such as orlistat). • Certain laxatives (such as liquid paraffin). If you are unsure of the types of medicines you are taking, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Plenachol Capsules with food and drink You should take this medicine preferably together with a large meal to help your body absorb the vitamin D.
