Can Podiapn Be Taken With Calcium And Diary Supplements?
I have diabetes type 2, with some beginning neuropathy. I take Metformin for the diabetes. I also have osteoporosis, for which I take Alendronate, and supplement with calcium as well as eating lots of dairy. My doctor just prescribed PoDiaPN for the neuropathy. I see online that this should not be taken with supplemental calcium or dairy products, and that it may cause low blood sugar reactions. Can you give me some guidance?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do not take this medicine with milk, other dairy products, calcium supplements, and antacids that contain calcium.
Calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb certain ingredients of the multivitamins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
