CARDIZEM LA (Brand for DILTIAZEM 24HR ER (LA)) Lifestyle Interactions

  • Sodium Fluoride 1.1%, Dental paste

    Interaction: Calcium-containing foods
    Severity: Major
    Notes for Consumers: Dairy products and other foods rich in calcium may decrease the actions of Sodium Flouride by reducing the amount absorbed by the body. Take Sodium Fluoride 2 hours before or after you eat dairy products to avoid an interaction.
    Notes for Professionals: Simultaneous oral administration of dairy foods along with sodium fluoride can produce calcium fluoride, which is poorly absorbed from the GI tract. Dairy products may also reduce fluoride absorption. While sodium fluoride may be administered with most foods to help reduce GI irritation, an interval of at least 2 hours is recommended between administration of sodium fluoride and dairy foods or other foods containing high levels of calcium.
