Antacids — Taking certain antacids for long periods of time may alter the levels, metabolism, and availability of vitamin D.
Calcium channel blockers (such as verapamil ) — These medications, used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions, may decrease the production of vitamin D by the body.
Cholestyramine — This cholesterol-lowering medication, known as a bile acid sequestrant, interferes with the absorption of vitamin D (as well as other fat-soluble vitamins).
Phenobarbital, phenytoin (brand name Dilantin®), and other anticonvulsant medications — These medications may accelerate the body's use of vitamin D.
(confirmed Office Dietary Supplements Feb 2011)
Mineral oil — Mineral oil also interferes with absorption.
Weight loss products — Orlistat (also known as alli), a medication used for weight loss, and olestra, a substance added to certain food products, are both intended to bind to fat and prevent the absorption of fat and the associated calories.
(confirmed Office Dietary Supplements Feb 2011), but no longer in potato chips)
