When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Serious cases of gastrointestinal obstruction and perforation have been reported in patients taking lanthanum, some requiring surgery and hospitalization. Risk factors identified from post marketing reports include altered gastrointestinal anatomy (diverticular disease, peritonitis, history of GI surgery, ulceration or cancer), hypomotility disorders, and some concomitant medications as calcium channel blockers. However, some cases have also been reported in patients with no history of gastrointestinal disease. Lanthanum should be used cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal disease.
