In case of interactions, patients should take Osteomed 1-2 hours after taking other drugs. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had stomach or kidney disease. Osteomed should be used with caution in sarcoid patients, patients with heart disease and on glycosides.

6. Drug interactions
Drug interactions can affect treatment results and/or increase drug side effects. It is best for patients to inform their doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription medications, supplements and vitamins they are taking for advice. Here are some drug interactions to watch out for when using Osteomed:
Calcium can interfere with the absorption of some drugs. Calcium binds with Quinolone antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, and Tetracycline antibiotics in the intestine and prevents the body from absorbing these drugs. Therefore, if concomitant administration is required, patients should take these drugs with Osteomed at least 2 hours apart. Products containing calcium carbonate can reduce stomach acid, which reduces iron absorption. Digoxin: The calcium in Osteomed may increase the effectiveness of Digoxin. Thiazide diuretics: When used with Osteomed, it may cause an excessive increase in the amount of calcium in the body. Calcium binds to sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate, a drug used to lower potassium levels), so it may affect the therapeutic effect of Kayexalate. Above is information about the uses, usage and notes when using Osteomed. Patients should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using the drug to ensure maximum effectiveness.
