When is caution required when taking/using Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000?
Since Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000 already contains vitamin D, any further vitamin D administration should only take place under medical supervision in order to avoid an overdose. In the case of prolonged treatment and/or mild renal insufficiency, it is recommended to have the amount of calcium excreted in the urine (calciuria) and blood calcium levels checked regularly. Depending on the result, your doctor may reduce or even stop treatment.
In the case of concomitant treatment with certain cardiovascular drugs, digitalis preparations (digoxin) or thiazide diuretics, administration of calcium in combination with vitamin D requires regular monitoring: it is essential that you consult your doctor or cardiologist. If you are being treated with a bisphosphonate (anti-osteoporosis medicine), sodium fluoride, estramustine (medicine to treat prostate cancer), orlistat (medicine to treat obesity), cholestyramine (cholesterol-lowering medicine), quinolones (certain antibiotics), thyroxine (thyroid medicine), iron supplements, zinc or strontium-containing preparations or paraffin, a time interval of at least 2 hours should be observed before taking Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000. In the case of oral treatment with tetracyclines (certain antibiotics), an interval of at least 3 hours should be observed before taking Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000. Tell your doctor if you are taking medication for epilepsy (phenytoin, barbiturates) or cortisone-like preparations.
Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000 should not be taken at the same time as foods containing oxalic acid, phosphate or phytin, eg spinach, rhubarb, bran-containing or soy products. They can hinder the absorption of calcium.
If you suffer from a certain lung disease (sarcoidosis), you may only take Calcium D3 Sandoz 500/1000 after consulting your doctor. Your doctor will monitor the levels of calcium in your blood and urine.

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. Concomitant use should be avoided at all costs.
