Sintesi

Calcium carbonate reduces absorption of oral iron, which can blunt the response to iron supplementation. The effect is most relevant when both are taken at the same time.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Calcium carbonate and Iron can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Calcium carbonate belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Iron belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Increased gastric pH lowers iron solubility, and calcium competes with iron for intestinal absorption.
