Calcium Citrate is a form of calcium that is more easily absorbed by the body, especially in individuals with low levels of stomach acid. It is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany).
It is also used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium (including women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone). Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones.

To ensure you are getting the most benefit from it, take each dose at the same time every day.

However, it's important to note that Calcium Citrate can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or increasing the risk of adverse effects. Here are some key interactions to be aware of:
1. Bisphosphonates: Calcium Citrate can decrease the absorption of bisphosphonates (for example, alendronate), which are used to treat osteoporosis. If you're taking a bisphosphonate, calcium should be taken at least two hours before or after the bisphosphonate.
2. Antibiotics: Calcium can bind to certain types of antibiotics in the stomach, reducing their effectiveness. This is particularly true for tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics. To avoid this interaction, take calcium at least two to four hours before or after taking these types of antibiotics.
3. Thyroid medication: Calcium can decrease the absorption of levothyroxine, a medication used to treat an underactive thyroid. If you're taking levothyroxine, take it at least four hours before or after taking calcium.
4. Iron and Zinc: Calcium can decrease the absorption of iron and zinc. If you're taking iron or zinc supplements, take them at least two hours before or after taking calcium.
It's also important to note that consuming too much calcium, especially in the form of supplements, can lead to constipation and kidney stones. Therefore, it's important to only take as much as your healthcare provider recommends.
Remember, this is not a complete list of all possible drug interactions. Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist to understand how this medication may interact with others you are taking. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

The active ingredient in this formulation is calcium citrate, a form of calcium that is easily absorbed by the body.

Other than its primary use as a calcium supplement, Calcium Citrate 1000 mg/10 mL Oral Liquid can also offer benefits for numerous off-label applications. Although primarily prescribed for the treatment and prevention of calcium deficiencies and associated conditions, this formulation has shown ample potential in managing symptoms of other health issues.

This formulation could be beneficial in curbing the progression of these disease states, provided it's used under proper medical supervision.

In the context of renal insufficiency, Calcium Citrate Oral Liquid could provide a viable alternative to other calcium supplements, catering to the need for calcium in individuals on dialysis or with kidney ailments.

However, this use is under research and should not be undertaken without consultation with a healthcare provider.
Lastly, this formulation might aid in alleviating some symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) due to its neutralizing effect on the stomach's acid, thus providing relief from heartburn.
