reclast infusion

[Radars]

I have had 1 reclast infusion last April, nobody told me that you are supposed to take a calcium supplement while on it,anyone else know this.

[Fruitandnutcase]

radars, I think peple with osteoporosis all need to take calcium in one form or another. I get most of mine from food but I think that is difficult for you so I think you will have to supplement and I think you have had difficulty in finding a calcium supplement that agrees with you. I thought you were taking AdCal?

I tried all the GPs calcium and they upset my gut so I ended up buying my own algae based calcium and my own vitamin D3 (plus K2-Mk7 , magnesium and boron plus other vitamins and minerals) but the seaweed based calcium has not upset my gut like the other stuff did. This is the one I use togetherhealth.co.uk/produc... I don’t take the full dose as it’s just a top up for m.

I take it with a vitamin D3 capsule - anything from 1000 - 3000 depending on what my vitamin D levels are when I test them.

yeah, zoledronic acid infusion I had reduces calcium, I tried adcal-d3 lasted 3 days stopped because of constipation, I have been taking 1000iu d3 with k2 mk-7 for a long time.

Hello, please could you tell me which vit D & K2 mk7 you take. I'm having a he'll of a job trying to find one that hasn't nasty fillers. Thank you

[Radars in reply to Rowan7]

sorry dint realize it came to me you can get these on Amazon, d-pearls bio-vitamin d3 1000iu, and Evo vitamin k2-mk7 200ug, hope that helps.

[Rowan7 in reply to Radars]

Thank you, although the vit k ones would be far to high for me. I will have a look at the D3

No one said anything to me either & I start my first Reclast soon.

Have you had a blood test? If your calcium levels are ok then they don’t tell you to supplement so that might be why as my bloods pre infusion were fine so I don’t supplement and bloods before second infusion were still fine so again no supplements we are all different I guess

[Radars in reply to MyStar86]

yeah had my blood test results on Friday, calcium below range, red blood cells below range, and creatinine below range,

[MyStar86 in reply to Radars]

Sorry my reply was to Ariel4 as they said they hadn’t been told re calcium that’s why I asked if they had a blood test.

Anyway good luck for your appointment today x

Was not told about anything prior to the ZA infusion. I already have osteoporosis so perhaps it was assumed I already was. Get most of my calcium with food, but I also have an antacid with 1000 mg of calcium in it.

[Nevernot]

yes you need to take Adcal. I’ve had 2 infusions and changing now as the side effects were horrible. Had horrible pulsate tinnitus and muscle pain, along with other symptoms

[Radars in reply to Nevernot]

I have had 2 infusions, I could not take adcal due to constipation, and calcium supplements are dodgy anyway they block absorbing nutrients and not good for your arteries.

[Nevernot]

I’ve only ever taken one as 2 made me sick
