Major (1)

  • Cholic Acid + CyclosporineBSEP inhibitor that may exacerbate accumulation of conjugated bile salts in liver. Avoid concomitant use; if necessary,

Moderate (6)

  • Cholic Acid + Antacids Containing AluminumAluminum-based antacids adsorb bile acids in vitro and reduce CHOLBAM availability. Take CHOLBAM at least 1 hour before
  • Cholic Acid + Cholestyramine LightBile acid binding resin that adsorbs and reduces bile acid absorption, potentially reducing CHOLBAM efficacy. Take CHOLB
  • Cholic Acid + ColesevelamBile acid binding resin that adsorbs and reduces bile acid absorption, potentially reducing CHOLBAM efficacy. Take CHOLB
  • Cholic Acid + ColestipolBile acid binding resin that adsorbs and reduces bile acid absorption, potentially reducing CHOLBAM efficacy. Take CHOLB
  • Cholic Acid + FenofibrateBile-acid binding resins may bind fenofibrate given concurrently, impeding its absorption.
  • Cholic Acid + Fenofibric AcidBile-acid binding resins may bind fenofibric acid concurrently. Administer fenofibric acid at least 1 hour before or 4-6
