A member asked:

Hello . is it safe to take gaviscon ( calcium carbonate ) with verapamil ( calcium blocker ) . the verapamil is for chronic cluster headaches.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: No problem. The function of calcium channel blockade is not impeded by the addition of calcium into the diet.
