Should I consult doctor before taking calcium supplements or they don’t do any harm? I want to try 1 tablet (orange flavored) daily for a week period.

Please check with your doctor and see which amount is correct for you.

Hi syednc

Very sensible to consult your GP about this, and you can see there is some information in this article from Healthline about Calcium Supplements:

I think of supplements as drugs, so only take after consultation with your doctor.

As to calcium ensure you are eating lots of dark leafy greens and forget the supplements.

It depends how old you are? Post menopausal women shouldnt take calcium suppliments. Must also consider k2, magnesium and d3. So must be an informed decision x
