Possible Interaction: Calcium Supplement and Polycarbophil

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

We could conclude that decreased mucoadhesion strength of polycarbophil in the presence of calcium is due to the chelation of polycarbophil carboxylic groups by calcium and crosslinking of polymer.
