You should also check with your doctor before using any over-the-counter products that contain calcium, such as vitamin supplements or antacids. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Excessive administration of calcium can aggravate digitalis toxicity and precipitate serious cardiac arrhythmias in digitalised patients. The mechanism probably involves additive or synergistic inotropic effects of calcium and digitalis glycosides on the myocardium.

Patients should be advised not to exceed the calcium dosage prescribed for them and to consult their healthcare provider before consuming additional products that may contain substantial amounts of calcium (e.g., over-the-counter supplements).
