Tendency to thrombosis, severe atherosclerosis, hypercalcemia.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bradycardia.

Pharmaceutically incompatible with ethanol, carbonates, salicylates, sulfates (forms insoluble or hardly soluble Ca 2+ salts). Forms insoluble complexes with tetracycline antibiotics (reduces the antibacterial effect). With simultaneous use with quinidine, it is possible to slow down intraventricular conduction and increase the toxicity of quinidine. Slows down the absorption of tetracyclines, digoxin, oral iron preparations (the interval between their doses should be at least 2 hours). When combined with thiazide diuretics, it can increase hypercalcemia, reduce the effect of calcitonin in hypercalcemia, and reduce the bioavailability of phenytoin.
