Interaction information
Heavy consumption of alcoholic or caffeinated drinks and heavy smoking can inhibit calcium absorption.
Eating large amounts of fibre-rich foods can inhibit calcium absorption because calcium binds to fibre to form compounds that are not readily absorbed.
When used with phenytoin or tetracyclines, absorption of both is reduced.
Contraceptives and oestrogens can increase calcium absorption.
When aluminium-containing antacids are taken with this medicine, aluminium absorption increases.
When used with calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine), blood calcium may rise significantly above normal, while the effects of medicines such as verapamil hydrochloride are reduced.
Combined use with thiazide diuretics increases renal tubular calcium reabsorption and may lead to hypercalcaemia.
Do not use in combination with digitalis medicines.
Watch for cardiac arrhythmias when used with potassium-containing medicines.
If you are taking other medicines, consult a physician or pharmacist before using this medicine.
