Similarly concomitant administration of zinc and fluroquinolones may decrease the GI absorption and serum levels of some fluroquinolones. Coadministration of Niacin and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg.
lovastatin) may result mayopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Pyridoxine reduces levodopa’s effectiveness by increasing its peripheral metabolism. Co-administration of pyridoxine with phenytoin may decrease serum levels of phenytoin.
