Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use this medicine if I have too much calcium in my blood (hypercalcemia)?
No, it’s not recommended. This supplement is meant to raise low calcium levels, so using it when you already have too much calcium can lead to kidney stones and other issues.
Can I take this capsule with antibiotics?
It’s better to keep a gap of at least an hour between this supplement and antibiotics because zinc might reduce how well antibiotics work.
Can I use antacids while taking this medication?
To avoid any issues, it’s recommended to take this supplement two hours before or four hours after antacids, as antacids might increase the absorption of calcium from the supplement.
