steroids always take in morning after breakfast.. you are on high doses.. hence the calcium, as it depletes calcium. it will in crease your hunger in afraid and there is a chance of weight gain and mood enhancement, some people may have some difficulties in sleeping.. there should be a side effect leaflet with your tablets.. steroids are designed to help body in a time of crisis and can be beneficial but do have potential to cause side effects .

I can say after my bad start to the day:- It has ended up to be very successfully in my ability to eat a good diet & a healthy one 2. I have never been able to eat so much in one day in months So happy, but I think the Ad-cal is leaving a nasty taste in my month!! Just 2 a day!! Did you have this Meds? Summer?
I Some times take calceos.. lemon flavour.. adcal is meant to be tutti frutti flavour??.calceos is not unpleasant
