Medication Interactions

Vitamin B5 supplements do not have any severe medication interactions. However, they do have moderate interactions! For instance, these supplements interact with certain antibiotics. Three examples are azithromycin, erythromycin, and clarithromycin. Vitamin B5 supplements also have over sixty mild medication interactions.
These interactions are why patients must talk to their doctor first! They have to give their doctor an updated list of all their current prescriptions, supplements, and over-the-counter medications. Their doctor will check for interactions with vitamin B5 supplements on this list! Pharmacists need to double-check this list as well. This lowers the risk of interactions and side effects.
