Calcium Pills
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.

It shouldn't make a difference because a calcium supplement is a homogenic healthy way of treating the symptoms of lack of calcium. Whomever prescribed you to this should know this but as for now, no it shouldn't affect anything because it is a vitamin and it wont hurt you. I dont think there is a difference in taking calcium supplement in the morning or at night but to double check everything ive said call your local health dept.

No, calcium is a natural supplement and should have no effect on any medications. Morning is the best time to take youre supplements.
