Moderate

calcium carbonate multivitamin with iron and fluoride

Applies to: calcium carbonate / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone and multivitamin with iron and fluoride

By reducing the acidity level in the stomach, medications like calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of multivitamin with iron and fluoride into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. If you require treatment with both medications, it is recommended that you take multivitamin with iron and fluoride at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after calcium carbonate to help minimize the impact of the interaction. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

calcium carbonate food

Applies to: calcium carbonate / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone

Calcium absorption may be increased by taking it with food. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption. Calcium may be taken with food to increase absorption. Consider spacing calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

multivitamin with iron and fluoride food

Applies to: multivitamin with iron and fluoride

Food may reduce the absorption and blood levels of multivitamin with iron and fluoride. In addition, some oral medications can also interfere with multivitamin with iron and fluoride absorption into the bloodstream, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Likewise, multivitamin with iron and fluoride may interfere with the absorption of other orally administered medications. You should take multivitamin with iron and fluoride on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
