Drug interactions

Diabetics taking chromium may experience changes (improvements) in their blood sugar levels. In such cases their medication requirements may need to be reduced in order to avoid hypoglycemia. They should consult with their prescribing physician. Calcium carbonate and antacids tend to decrease the absorption of chromium. It is advisable to take chromium supplements 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking medications or other supplements.
