Drug and food interactions
calcium carbonate food
Applies to: calcium carbonate
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the absorption of calcium. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption.
MANAGEMENT: Calcium may be administered with food to increase absorption. Consider withholding calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid.

sevelamer food
Applies to: sevelamer
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Sevelamer may decrease the oral bioavailability of concomitantly administered drugs. While clinical data are lacking for most drugs, the intestinal absorption of some may be impaired due to sevelamer's binding capabilities.
MANAGEMENT: As a precaution, drugs that can be adversely affected by alterations in blood levels should be administered 1 hour before or 3 hours after sevelamer.
