Posso tomar Cálcio e Indapamida juntos?

Por que isso acontece

Indapamide is a 'water pill' (diuretic) that works by reducing the amount of calcium your kidneys get rid of in your urine. If you take extra calcium supplements at the same time, the calcium builds up in your body because it isn't being flushed out as usual.

Speak to your doctor before taking calcium supplements if you are prescribed indapamide. Your doctor may want to monitor your blood calcium levels with regular blood tests. If you experience symptoms like extreme thirst, frequent urination, confusion, or nausea, contact your GP.

Alergia a sulfonamidas

Do not take indapamide if you have a known allergy to sulphonamide medicines (such as certain antibiotics), as you may experience a similar allergic reaction.

Hypercalcaemia (High blood calcium)

Taking calcium supplements alongside indapamide significantly increases the risk of your blood calcium levels becoming dangerously high. Your doctor must monitor your blood levels regularly.

Álcool

Beber álcool enquanto toma indapamida pode aumentar o efeito de redução da pressão arterial do medicamento. Isso pode fazer você se sentir tonto, com a cabeça leve ou desmaiar, especialmente ao se levantar rapidamente. É melhor manter o consumo de álcool dentro dos limites recomendados e ver como o medicamento afeta você antes de beber.

Cafeína (Café, chá, bebidas energéticas)

Caffeine can slightly reduce the amount of calcium your body absorbs and increase the amount of calcium lost in your urine. If you consume a lot of caffeine, it may make your calcium supplement less effective. Try to limit caffeine intake or space it out from when you take your supplement.

High-fibre foods (e.g., whole grains, bran) and foods high in oxalates (e.g., spinach, rhubarb)

Foods very high in fibre or oxalates can bind to calcium in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed properly. If you eat these foods, try to eat them at a different time of day than when you take your calcium supplement.
