Yes, Tums (calcium carbonate) & Ativan: Have no listed drug-drug interaction. Do be careful with how many Tums (calcium carbonate) u take in a day; too many can result in hypercalcemia (too much calcium in blood) altered blood acid-base balance (metabolic alkalosis) & kidney dysfunction. If u need many tums, (calcium carbonate) see doc about alternate ways to treat acid indigestion.
