Calcium may interact with proton pump inhibitors. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Calcium supplements may also reduce the absorption of iron and zinc. Proton pump inhibitors, loop diuretics, and corticosteroids can decrease calcium absorption.
