Calcium supplements ok with xeloda?

Is it okay to take calcium supplements with Xeloda for advanced breast cancer?
Are there other OTC drugs or foods one should not take while on Xeloda?
(And is it okay to take them on the weeks OFF of chemo?)
Thanks, Morgan

Dear Morgan, We could not find any contraindication to the use of calcium supplements and Xeloda.  For additional information about chemotherapy you may want to check out the website www.chemocare.com.  You can look up your chemotherapy specifically and there is information regarding the drugs, side effect management, eating hints etc. for those undergoing chemotherapy treatments.  It is important to let your oncologist know of any medications (OTC or prescription) as well as any supplements that you may be taking or thinking of taking during chemotherapy so they can discuss and advise you specifically.
