The chemical formula for Tums is CaCO3 (mineral calcite).
Yes, you can take too much calcium, according to Dr. Toohey, who says that 2500 mg. is the maximum amount one should consume, whether by diet or supplements. You can read about Dr. Toohey's opinion here: http://www.chronicfatigue.org/What's%20New.html Evidently when you take in too much calcium, it can cause other health problems such as kidney stones. It is best to get your calcium from food sources, as they are absorbed into the body better. Ruth Hendrickson
Tums ingredients typically include calcium carbonate, sucrose, and corn starch. Rolaids ingredients usually consist of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, along with other inactive ingredients like dextrose and corn starch.
There are many reasons that an individual can take calcium supplements. The reason may be to avoid a calcium deficiency, as that may cause a lot of health problems.
Both Tums and Rolaids are effective antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Tums contains calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, while Rolaids contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide. The choice between the two may depend on personal preference and any specific dietary considerations.
Tums or other calcium supplements. Also drink small amounts of water
I have to say yes! Tums are Calcium and you need that when you are pregnant. Taking calcium supplements are good to keep the baby's and your bones healthy. Check out http://www.tums.com/Calcium.aspx for more info.
I would say it is probably not unsafe to take them, in fact, I highly doubt that Calcium would ever go bad (Calcium Carbonate is basically chalk). According to FDA standards, the expiration date is the point at which 90% of the medication still remains- meaning if anything, it will be less effective than it would have been.But really, some new calcium supplements should cost $2.00- just take generic tums (Calcium Carbonate). Look for them in the antacid section!
No. Ingredient of tums aka plaster of Paris. Not explosive.
I am looking for answer. Disappinted.
It is generally safe to take iron supplements along with calcium supplements, but it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before doing so to ensure there are no potential interactions or adverse effects.
It is generally safe to take iron supplements with calcium supplements, but it is recommended to space them out by a few hours to ensure optimal absorption of both nutrients. Consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Yes, you can generally take Tums (calcium carbonate) with pantoprazole magnesium, but it's important to space them out. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid, while Tums neutralizes existing acid. To avoid potential interactions, take Tums at least two hours after pantoprazole. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
No, But you can take Tums and Ambien! ;)
