can I take Calcium supplements or drink lots of milk with Verapamil?

[mrbeamer911]

I am on verapamil for high blood pressure but the med is making my hair thinner so I was wondering if I could offset it by taking in more calcium?

If you experience hair loss while taking verapamil, talk with your healthcare provider. Depending on the severity of your hair loss, there are things that he or she may be able to do. If your symptoms continue to be bothersome or if your healthcare provider believes the medicine is causing your hair loss, he or she may recommend trying another medication.

Hair loss can only be prevented by taking calcium supplements only if the loss is related to calcium deficiency.
