Going to a very good drugchecker....

Diltiazem + cholecalciferol == no interactions found

http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...st=646-0,890-0

Diltiazem + calcium carbonate == one moderate interaction
diltiazem ↔ calcium carbonate

Applies to: diltiazem, calcium carbonate

Quote:
Using diltiazem together with calcium carbonate can decrease the effects of diltiazem. Talk with your doctor before using diltiazem and calcium carbonate together. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Hence it is the calcium part of a combo pill and not the Vit D3 part.

It is confusing, I know. But I hope this clears it up some.

And as I mentioned before, the trend today is not to use so much calcium as a supplement anyway.
