I have to take medicine throughout the day. Recently, I was told I should start taking a Calcium supplement, in addition to my other meds. My questions are: Does taking calcium along with another pill lessen the strength of that other pill? Is there a difference in taking calcium in the morning as opposed to at night? Thanks-
I don't know of anything that a calcium supplement would interfere with. I take one once a day along with acne medicine, and it doesn't make a difference in how it works. Just be aware that taking a calcium supplement will make it harder for your body to absorb iron, a nessecary nutrient that most people don't get enough of anyways. So, if you were to take a calcium supplement, I suggest take it before bed so that it doesn't reduce the amount of iron you get so badly.
