Can Acyclovir And Neurontin Be Taken Along With Calcium And Vitamin Supplements?

I had a bone marrow transplant in 2001. Since then I went through early menopause and take a bunch of different pills daily for the rest of my life. My concern is there always seems to be reasons why I can t use many of these natural supplements. I would need to know if there are any chances of a reaction to the many medications that I am on. I take Acyclovir, Neurontin or Gabapentin, Tegretol or Carbamazepin, Penicillon, Omprazole, Diflucan, and Fosomax. I also take Calcium with Vitamin D and right now I have been taking Fish Oil and Vitamin E.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Calcium carbonate decreases the absorption of Gabapentin.
Therefore there should be a gap of 2 hours at least between these two.Otherwise there is no adverse reaction recorded between these medicines and supplements.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
