Overdosage
Calcium: No data available on overdosage when taken in the recommended dose. However, in particularly susceptible individuals (i.e., patients with kidney failure), doses greater than 2 g elemental calcium per day may cause high levels of calcium in the urine and lead to kidney stones, which may result to kidney damage.
Vitamin D: Chronic ingestion of 50,000 - 100,000 IU (1.25 - 2.5 mg) of vitamin D daily may result in hypervitaminosis D. Signs and symptoms include hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, anorexia (loss of appetite), nausea, vomiting, polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (excessive thirst), weakness and lethargy (fatigue).
Zinc: Rare occurrences of acute zinc poisoning have been reported. The toxicity signs observed after ingestion of high zinc doses (4 - 8 grams) include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, metallic taste, and lethargy.
If the patient has taken more than the recommended dosage, consult a doctor or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

Drug Interactions
Calcium: Bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate, etidronate, risedronate) should be taken at least 30 minutes before taking this medicine since calcium may reduce absorption of bisphosphonates.
Quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin) should be taken at least three hours before taking this medicine since calcium may reduce absorption of quinolones.
Tetracyclines should be taken at least three hours before taking this medicine to avoid reduced absorption of tetracyclines. Tetracyclines are not recommended in children below 8 years old.
Concomitant intake of calcium and foods rich in oxalic acid (e.g., spinach, sweet potatoes, and beans) or phytic acid (unleavened bread, raw beans, seeds, nuts, and grains) may decrease calcium absorption.
Vitamin D: Concomitant intake of other products containing high dose vitamin D may result in excessive doses of vitamin D.
Concomitant use of mineral oils, olestra, orlistat, and bile acid sequestrants (e.g., cholestyramine, colestipol) may reduce the absorption of vitamin D.
Concomitant use of anticonvulsants, cimetidine and thiazides may decrease the effect of vitamin D.
Quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin) should be taken at least three hours before taking this medicine since calcium may reduce absorption of quinolones.
