  ►    Mechanism of Drug Drug Interaction : 
Vitamin D increases the gastrointestinal absorption of calcium and thiazide diuretics decrease its urinary excretion. Bran decreases the gastrointestinal absorption of calcium. Corticosteroids also reduce calcium absorption. Calcium enhances the effects of digitalis glycosides on the heart. Calcium salts reduce the absorption of a number of other drugs such as bisphosphonates, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines; doses should be separated by at least 3 hour.,
