How does omeprazole interact with calcium or iron supplements and are there any absorption issues or risks of nutrient deficiencies when using omeprazole concurrently with these supplements?
1. Omeprazole can reduce stomach acid, impairing absorption of calcium and iron, potentially leading to deficiencies if taken simultaneously.
2. Taking omeprazole may lower the acidity in your stomach, which is needed to absorb calcium and iron, increasing the risk of deficiencies.
