At what amount of calcium per day in OTC use is a warning label required?

1.5 g
2.5 g
3.2 g
4.0 g

The correct answer is: 3.2 g

The correct answer is 3.2 g, which is the threshold in over-the-counter (OTC) medications that triggers a warning label requirement due to potential adverse effects associated with high calcium intake. According to regulations, when the amount of elemental calcium is at or above this level, a warning label is necessary to inform consumers of the risks associated with excessive calcium consumption, such as kidney stones or impaired absorption of other minerals. Understanding the significance of this threshold helps ensure that patients are aware of safe dosage limits and can make informed decisions regarding their OTC calcium supplements, promoting safe pharmacy practice and enhancing patient safety.
