Re: Tums & Atenolo (TENORMIN

[Guest guest]

I just read under possible food & drug raction with Atenolo in my PDR, that

one item on the list is Tums - that it could either increase, decrease or

alter the effects of the medication..............rats.....they have had me

on this combination for months.

Yet another thing to ask about!

Tums really does help!

Ellen, I don't take Tums, but I take a calcium suppliment, which I

guess is mostly what Tums is. Would you mind posting what the PDR

says about food and drug reactions for toprol? I have seen lists of

medication reactions on the web, but I haven't seen any info about

food reactions except random postings in places, no " authoritative "

info. I am thinking a lot of us are taking vitamin and mineral

suppliments of various linds...
