Additional intake of vitamin D and/or calcium should be done under medical supervision to avoid overdose. Long-term intake of large amounts of calcium or high doses of vitamin D from food or medicines and at the same time easy-to-absorb basic substances (alkalis, e.g. bicarbonates, which are contained in medicines to bind gastric acid) can lead to a milk-alkali syndrome (calcium metabolism disorder) with the risk of kidney damage. Simultaneous intake should be avoided at all costs.
Caution is required when taking cardiac glycosides and diuretics (thiazides) at the same time, since interactions can occur.
Since taking corticosteroids at the same time leads to increased calcium excretion via the kidneys, the Calcimagon-D3 or Calcimagon-D3 Forte dose may have to be increased in consultation with your doctor.
Patients who are being treated simultaneously with antibiotics (tetracyclines) or barbiturates should always keep a time interval of about 3 hours between taking these drugs and Calcimagon-D3 or Calcimagon-D3 Forte; certain antibiotics (quinolones) should be taken 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after the administration of Calcimagon-D3 or Calcimagon-D3 Forte.
In the case of simultaneous treatment with a bisphosphonate, cholestyramine, zinc, strontium ranelate and iron preparations, sodium fluoride or paraffin, an interval of at least 2 hours should be observed before taking Calcimagon-D3 or Calcimagon-D3 Forte . The same applies to the simultaneous intake of oxalic or phytic acid-rich food (spinach, rhubarb, whole grains).
If the thyroid hormone levothyroxine is administered at the same time, the time interval should be 4 hours.
If you lose your appetite, are extremely thirsty, feel sick or vomit, you should contact your doctor immediately.
