Other medicines and Carbocal

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Certain medicines may interact with Carbocal. In these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or stop treatment with one of them.

Taking Carbocal with food and drinks

If you take Carbocal with foods that contain oxalic acid (found in spinach and rhubarb) or phytic acid (found in whole wheat bread and whole grain cereals), interactions may occur, so it is recommended not to take Carbocal during the two hours following consumption of foods high in oxalic acid and phytic acid.
