Colonoscopy and Prednisolone
My question is how and when should I take pred and
adcal
. Currently I’m at the start of a second attempt of a slow taper, 10mg to 9.5mg which I take around 9am after breakfast followed by 2
adcal
at 11:45, the 2 more
adcal
at 10:30pm.

Adcal-D3
Has anyone else suffered from nausea when taking
Adcal
-D3 chewable? I was wondering if the tablets contain lactose, as I'm allergic to it. Since having been diagnosed with a fractured L2 and osteoporosis, the RA team and my GP both recommend them. I was taking Solgar Calcium Citrate with Vit D.

Alendronic Acid
I was told in my recent medication review not to take
Adcal
on the day I take Alendronic acid as they bind together and are lost- any thoughts? Been doing it wrong for five years!

Finally finished prednisolone.
What I'd like to know is, is there any guidance or advice on how long I should continue with alendronic acid,
adcal
and lanzoprazol for? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Osteoporosis
My question is -
Adcal
-D3 has vitamin D3 400 IU which would make it 4,400 IU D3 per day. Is this amount ok to take? Should I stop taking
Adcal
and find a another source of Calcium, if so which is best?

Update on NOT a UTI
I have however taken myself off the
Adcal
(1-2 weeks ago) and won't be taking it again until I've got results of my DXA scan ( which I had on 16th November last year!!) and then only if I'm ordered to! Thank you for all your replies everyone.x

dexa scan whilst on pred?
I was never offered a dexa scan before being issued with
adcal
. Is is too late to have one now? I have been on them since February 2023 and wondered if there is any point asking for one.

calcium citrate
I only had 3
adcal
-d3 tablets 1 a day but I got constipation, I have a hiatus hernia, which is the best calcium citrate I have read they are easier on your stomach, thanks.

t12 and calcium supplement
I have got severe osteoporosis and I am wandering if I would be better off with a calcium supplement, I tried
adcal
-d3 after my zoledronic acid infusion but I had to stop because it gave me constipation, I don't want to be messing about measuring out calcium and I don't know if I am absorbing calcium

I’ve already had lumpectomy, lymph node clearance, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, having IV bisophates 6 monthly for 3 years and I’m currently taking Letrozole and
adcal
. The plan is that I will be taking this medication for 2 years.

absorbing calcium
I have just started taking 1
adcal
-d3 a day, but it's hard to know if you are absorbing calcium because you read of so many foods that block and leech calcium from your bones, you don't know what to eat at mealtimes.

Atrial fibrillation now as well!
So I forgot one of my questions which concerned a Calcium Blocker (Bisprolol) that A&E prescribed and how does that work with Risedronate and daily
Adcal
?

Why does my rheumatologist want me to go onto Methotrexate when I am on a low does of Prednisolone and am getting good symptom relief?
I stopped the
AdCal
when I went down to 5mg of Prednisolone a year ago but was told in no uncertain terms to start taking it again.
