About a week ago Mrs Nails put up a wonderfully clear and informative post ,about Alendronic Acid. (Mrs Nails, your work is so much appreciated.)
I was very interested to note she says supplements of calcium and Vit D are to be taken AS WELL AS bisphosphonate, if you have osteoporosis, which I do ( lowest T score -2.9 .)
Have I understood what you are saying correctly, Mrs. Nails?
I have had one infusion of Aclasta, due to have another one but feeling dubious about it.
In Professor Dasgupta's webinar last year , I have written down that he said there is no need to take supplements, and he encourages a good intake of calcium naturally, i.e. through dairy etc. Unfortunately I couldnt manage to save the webinar, my computer skills weren't up to it. After hearing that I stopped taking the calcium I had been buying myself. It isn't prescribed here in NZ, though calocalciferol, ( VitD) is.
What does anyone think ? Did anyone else note Dr Daspupta saying no need to take calcium? Did I pick that up incorrectly?
