Armour contains calcium??!!! (from prescribing data sheet) - how MUCH calcium will interfere?

[Guest guest]

I was just reading the patient information sheet for Amrour, and

it said one of the inactive ingridents was calcium sterate (and

dextrose.. Gotta have a bit of a sugary taste in everything - good

thing too - otherwise Armour would probably be bitter as hell!) I

though calcium interfered with thyroid hormones - or is this possibly

an intentional sorta-slowed absorbtion effect, or do small amounts of

calcium not affect Armour?

This is a question I've been wondering - how MUCH calcium will

interfere? Certainly the amount of Ca in a multi-vitamin or Ca-pill

would, and possibly however much is in my selenium pills (which I now

wait at least an hour before taking in the morning. Needless to say,

I'm looing for a new supplier of Se, and writing to Nature's Bounty

company. What I *don't* know about is whether there is any Ca in the

base of my generic bupropion or lorazempam. I'm not taking any

chances with those either until the pharmacy can wrangle the

inactives from the company - they should be listed anyway, although

with generics.. Would the FDA have a list of inactives based on NDC?

(they should at least be good for SOMETHING!)
