Drug Interactions

1 This product should not be used in combination with digitalis drugs. 2 Drinking large amounts of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages and smoking large amounts of cigarettes will inhibit the absorption of calcium. 3 Eating large amounts of fiber-rich foods can inhibit the absorption of calcium, because calcium combines with cellulose to form compounds that are not easily absorbed. 4 This product is used with phenytoin sodium and tetracyclines, and the absorption of both is reduced. 5 Vitamin D, birth control pills, and estrogen can increase calcium absorption. 6 When aluminum-containing antacids are taken with this product, aluminum absorption increases. 7 When this product is used in combination with thiazide diuretics, hypercalcemia is likely to occur (due to increased reabsorption of calcium by the renal tubules). 8 When this product is used in combination with potassium-containing drugs, attention should be paid to the occurrence of arrhythmias. 9 If used with other drugs at the same time, drug interactions may occur. Please consult a physician or pharmacist for details.
