Experiences with

Adcal

I’m not sure how much is in the Adcal other than it is listed in the edible fats. 3. I told the oncologist I already supplemented my Vit D with an over the counter product - he claimed whatever I took was not a patch on Adcal-_D3. No discussion over what I took .

My gp has prescribed adcal lemon chews for my severe osteoporosis, I already take vit d3 1000iu and k2 mk-7, is it ok to take them at the same time, adcal is 2 a day.

I was not advised to take any co factors with the Adcal-D3 eg Vitamin K, magnesium. I was taking Dr Best vit D3 5000IU and K-pearls K2 MK7 - is it safe to continue them with Adcal-D3 ? Many thanks for any pointers.

Hi,I am going for a zoledronic acid infusion on the 25th, the gp prescribed adcal with lemon chewable 1500,I have a hiatus hernia so not taking them,would I be better buying some calcium citrate before my infusion

My Dad is now on Adcal -D3 1x daily, 9mg Prednisolone daily and 1x weekly Alendronic Acid. Is it normal to be prescribed Alendronic Acid? Also, how far apart should this be taken from Pred? Thanks Lindsay

I have been trying the Adcal d3 for a couple of weeks. I make sure I only take with water. Mid pm so as not to upset my stomach. As soon as I eat in the evening within an hour diarrhoea. I’ve seen if a day that if I don’t take it then my stomach is fine.

Thanks to all re above. I finally got to speak to Rx chemist, agreed should have D3 too, after all this time being on just calcium, so changed my meds. Seems you lot know more than dox!🤗

I think I saw a post which said it was okay to take D mannose with prednisone, adcal and the other things we take for PMR and GCA but I can’t find it. I have taken 5 courses of antibiotics since February for a persistent UTI and I think it might be worth seeing if this will help to get rid of it.

Just wondering if anyone takes Adcal-D3 prescribed by the GP. I've just been looking at the level of D3 and its 400 I.U. (equivalent to 10 micrograms per tablet). For winter that seems low to me; was wondering if anyone takes extra D3?

Hi all,been on Adcal-D3 for 6years,2 in afternoon and 2 at bed time, just wondering how long you have to take them, 🤔 was worrying about kidney stones don't want them,seems it's the vit d that can cause them,but if they helping the bones . Xx

Am prone to UTIs and don't like the ADCal tabs as they are grainy/gritty. I take a Soldar Vit D, but what dose is advisable, and what brand, type and dose of calcium does anyone advise please. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I'd be grateful for wisdom here as to what works best particularly with regard to the Adcal and Zometa timing? Thanks

So I currently take my t4 & t3 in the morning 6am and then my second dose of t3 in the afternoon at 2 pm (if I forget then it’s 4pm once back from school run) then I take my alfacailcidol , ADCAL and vitamin d before bed.

Namely Fosinopril (for BP) and Adcal.)

my gp has sent me a prescription for adcal-d3 is there an alternative for my severe osteoporosis, they have a lot of sugar which is not good for my prostate cancer.

I was prescribed a few years of Alendronic Acid, and Adcal which I still takeI took steps to improve by taking up various activities and in 2022 started running regular 5ks. I eat healthily and enjoy lots of veg, in fact I eat most foods recommended for bone health.

I had no idea that I shouldn’t be taking all my pills, prednisolone, aspirin, atorvastatin, omeprazole and adcal -D3 at the same time each morning…… Having now read some comments I will review my timings. I now understand why I don’t feel good in the mornings….

Hi all My Dad’s VIT D results have come back adequate at 56.6 nmol/L range (50.1 - 220nmol/L) My Dad has now been given Adcal D-3 to take which has 400 I.U. or 10 micrograms colecalciferol (vitamin D3) in it. He takes steroids and will be on them for a very long time which is way he has Ad-Cal.

I noticed that if I take it at the same time as my Adcal then it takes longer to absorb and reduce the morning pain level and it wasn't until yesterday that I saw something on here (article saved, as suggested) that Adcal can affect the absorption of prednisolone due to it coating the stomach and I was

hi all last week my GP refused to depense my medication unless I had a blood test even though my endocrinologist wrote to tell them my findings of my blood test 3 weeks ago 😤 I am currently on 100mg Levo, I am full thyroidectomy patient, also on hypopara so on alfacalcidol and ADCAL.
