CALCIUM CARBONATE (KAL see um KAR bon ate) treats occasional heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or other conditions caused by too much stomach acid. It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. It belongs to a group of medications called antacids. It may also be used to increase calcium levels in your body. Calcium is a mineral that plays an important role in building strong bones and maintaining heart health.

CHILDRENS SOOTHE Lifestyle Interactions

  • Multivitamin and Multimineral, Oral tablet

    • Interaction: Foods containing olestra
    • Severity: Mild
    • Notes for Consumers: If large amounts of foods containing olestra are eaten (such as WOW chips, fat-free Pringles, or Utz Yes potato chips), the absorbtion of certain vitamins, including Phytonadione, Vitamin K 1, may be decreased.
    • Notes for Professionals: The food supplement olestra, if ingested in sufficient quantities, may decrease the oral absorption of vitamin K.

  • Multivitamin and Multimineral, Oral tablet

    • Interaction: Food
    • Severity: Moderate
    • Notes for Consumers: Avoid taking Phosphorus Salts at the same time with foods which contain oxalates (rhubarb, spinach, tomatoes, celery, nuts, beans, berries, chocolate) or phytates (bran and whole-grain cereals). These foods can decrease the amount of Phosphorus absorbed from the stomach. To limit this interaction, avoid these foods within 2 hours of taking Phosphorus Salts.
    • Notes for Professionals: Foods containing oxalates (found in vegetables like rhubarb, tomatoes, celery, and spinach; as well as berries, beans, nuts and chocolate) or phytates (found in bran and whole-grain cereals) may reduce the absorption of phosphorus by forming complexes with the phosphorus salt.

  • Multivitamin and Multimineral, Oral tablet

    • Interaction: Enteral Feedings
    • Severity: Mild
    • Notes for Consumers: If you need to use Enteral feedings (examples: Ensure, Jevity and others) as your sole nutritional dietary intake for long periods of time, you may be at risk for Zinc deficiency, as the feeding may impair the absorption of zinc. This interaction is not a concern if you simply use these products as supplements to a normal diet; true zinc deficiency is relatively rare. If you take Enteral Feedings as your only diet for long periods of time, you may need to discuss the use of additional mineral supplements with your prescriber. If you do take a Zinc supplement, it is best to take it at least 1 hour before or 1 hour after you have taken any feeding, meal, or beverage.
    • Notes for Professionals: Absorption of zinc from enteral feedings may be impaired, despite the presence of zinc as a component of the enteral feeding formula; patients on chronic enteral feeding therapy may require additional zinc supplementation to ensure adequate nutritional intake.

  • Multivitamin and Multimineral, Oral tablet

    • Interaction: Alcohol
    • Severity: Moderate
    • Notes for Consumers: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication. Drinking alcohol while taking this medication may cause facial flushing or redness.
    • Notes for Professionals: Alcohol-containing beverages or hot beverages/foods can exacerbate cutaneous vasodilation caused by niacin and should be avoided around the time of niacin ingestion. In general, this interaction would not be harmful, but might decrease patient tolerance of niacin. Alcohol and niacin, particularly sustained-release niacin, are both potentially hepatotoxic. Although no data are available regarding enhanced hepatotoxicity, excessive alcohol use should be discouraged.
