.025 is a really low dose. You must not have been very far out of line. I doubt you will see much effect from that.
Charm, I was told to take the meds 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking anything with Calcium or Iron. I take mine in the morning when I get up. I drink Ensure Plus for breakfast and never thought about the iron or calcium in it and it doesn't seem to have affected the meds. I just don't take my Centrum or OSCAL until 6 hours later.
Take care,
Eileen
