Interactive issues of taking a calcium/magnesium/ D3 supplement with s

Posted by madelinehart @madelinehart, Feb 10 6:30pm

I am wondering if there is a problem with taking a liquid Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3 supplement once a day four hours after taking my 3 antibiotics 3X a week.
Does anyone have information about this?
Thank you for your help.

I don’t have experience with these drugs but I often use drug.com to check for drug interactions in general.

I did a lot of researching through Dr google (know I shouldn’t, but in this case…) before I started this past January. I decided to space my vitamins and my probiotics apart. I have a couple other meds I take in the am an hour before Azithromycin and ethambutol which I take with breaky. I take the liquid calcium supplement you mention at noon with my greens and collagen and take my probiotics and B12 around 3 pm with no food. Then the Rifampin at nine or ten pm before bed.
Other than new headaches and not as much nausea anymore, I seem ok and am able to get in the good stuff while taking all these drugs. It’s key to get in your old meds and vitamins. Don’t need your bones cracking or other health issues to arise so that when you are successful in this fight you are a broken mess!

From all I have read your four hour wait after taking the meds appears to be more than fine for the supplement routine. Always good to look/see/research on the internet at reputable sites (major medical sites etc like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo etc.) as Scoop mentioned for your own peace of mind.
