Is it ok if a patient takes oral bisphosphonates and calcium?

A: No, they shouldn’t be prescribed together

B: Yes, there is no interaction between them

C: Yes, but they shouldn’t be taken at the same time

The correct answer is C. Calcium and other minerals (for example magnesium, and iron) can interfere with the absorption of bisphosphonates, and they should not be taken for at least one hour after taking oral bisphosphonates.
