Thiazide diuretics reduce the urinary excretion of calcium
Systemic corticosteroids reduce calcium absorption
Simultaneous treatment with ion exchange resins such as cholestyramine or laxatives such as paraffin oil may reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin D
Calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of concomitantly administered tetracycline preparations
Hypercalcaemia may increase the toxicity of cardiac glycosides
Patients should not take calcium products within two hours of eating foods high in oxalic acid and phytic acid

Daily intake during pregnancy should not exceed 1500 mg calcium and 600 IU cholecalciferol
Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity with high dose of vitamin D

Serum calcium levels and renal function should be monitored during long-term treatment
Monitoring is especially important in elderly patients on concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides or diuretics and in patients with a high tendency to calculus formation
In case of hypercalcaemia or signs of impaired renal function, the dose should be reduced or the treatment discontinued
Vitamin D should be used with caution in patients with impairment of renal function and the effect on calcium and phosphate levels should be monitored

Hypervitaminosis D and hypercalcaemia
Symptoms may include anorexia, thirst, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, mental disturbances, polydipsia, polyuria, bone pain, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias
Persistently high calcium levels may lead to irreversible renal damage and soft tissue calcification
