A member asked:
Would calcium chloride affect absorption of meds. trying to find antacid that won't stop meds from working effectively?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: At age 30 , why are you taking calcium in the first place? It is a poor antacid. If you must take an antacid, take magnesium or aluminum salts. Try acid blockers such as zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid.
