Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or use with caution:
• With Risedronate
• Calcium supplements (which make it harder for the body to absorb) → wait two hours
• Antacids
• Supplements with iron
• NSAIDs (make the GI tract more irritated)
• Steroids (raise the risk of osteoporosis)
• Long-term usage of proton pump inhibitors can impair bone health.
• With Calcium and Calcitriol
• Thiazide diuretics → increased risk of calcium
• Digoxin → irregular heartbeat with elevated calcium
• Antacids that have magnesium in them
• Vitamin D pills (risk of poisoning)
• Always tell your doctor if you are taking thyroid medicine and wait four hours before taking calcium.
