Taking Natecal with food and drinks

If you take Natecal 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 advised not to take this medicine during the two hours following the consumption of foods with high content of oxalic acid and phytic acid.
