What is one of the drugs that interact with Thiamin?

Thiamin, also known as vitamin B1, is an essential nutrient that can interact with certain medications. Aluminum hydroxide is known to bind to thiamin in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing its absorption. This interaction can potentially lead to thiamin deficiency if individuals taking this medication do not ensure adequate intake of thiamin-rich foods or supplements.

While warfarin and phenytoin may have their own interactions with various nutrients or vitamins, their specific interaction with thiamin is not as direct or significant as that of aluminum hydroxide. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that primarily affects vitamin K metabolism, while phenytoin, an antiepileptic drug, has some impact on folate metabolism but does not have a clear and direct impact on thiamin absorption or status. Therefore, focusing on aluminum hydroxide emphasizes the specific and known interaction with thiamin absorption.
