Question
What are the potential effects of taking too many calcium tablets, and how should one handle an overdose?
Answer
When a single dose of calcium tablets is taken in excess, it usually does not cause immediate severe effects, as the body can metabolize the excess calcium quickly. However, long-term or large doses of excessive intake may lead to indigestion, constipation, and even put a burden on heart function. In this case, pay attention to your own condition and seek medical attention immediately if you experience discomfort. To prevent overdose, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and develop good medication-taking habits.
