Experiences with

Adcal

I have been put on alendrinic acid , Adcal and had a Dexa scan (no results yet) Osteoporosis????

Hi, I fractured a vertebrae in my spine in September. I’m 66 with no family history of osteoporosis. Besides Hashimotos I also have Sjögren’s. My blood tests last year showed my vitamin D levels were inadequate so at my GP’s request I took vitamin D3. However, after a few months I began to have heart

I also take Rovuvastatin( also thyroxine & adcal. ) I am not feeling at all well on theses meds - is it suitable & necessary to take all these things ?

I have just ordered this as I have learned from this site that I should be taking this with AdCal to help the absorption of the calcium into my bones. The vitamin k is once a day so should i take it with the mid morning AdCal or evening one ? Thanks very much. Currently tapering 4.0/3.5 mg.

Meds are omeprazole at 7.30, pred with breakfast at 8-8.30, first Adcal at 11 ish, last at 9ish. AA still reluctantly, but in the weekly advisory way. Question...where is the best place to take K2....and perhaps magnesium because of leg cramps?

I was interested that John Campbell didn't have much time for Adcal. I had reached the same opinion and stopped taking it. He also talked about K2 and I thought I must get them, looked it up on Amazon and found that I bought some last month.

Recently diagnosed with advanced Osteoporosis she has been prescribed AA and Adcal. The doctor suggests that calcium carbonate would be better changed to calcium citrate. I have been taking Adcal for 8 +Years and have an increasingly bad stomach and the GP has given me Lansoprazole.

Also, due to the fact that the Omeprazole will affect my bones, I am taking Adcal and Alendronic Acid, as I already have osteoporosis. Had anybody else taken these without unpleasant side effects? I am feeling so tired and in pain, and I so want to enjoy my son's visit later in the year. Jenny

I also take Adcal (usually 1 per day now) and Lercandipine for blood pressure and Lipidor 20mg). Just tapered from 2 1/2 to 2mg pred. using the dead slow method (thanks to this wonderful site).

I am on Adcal and have been for years due to my low Adjusted calcium, but hasn’t been this low before. Would this level make me feel as bad as I do? 2. The T4 range has been changed so the range is lower than it used to be.

I’m definitely not in any hurry to reduce quickly, but thinking ahead [ok, I’m dreaming], to when the day comes when I get down to say 1mg, will it be essential to stay on the AA, Omeprazole and Adcal tablets or if the Pred is that low then can I stop the other meds?

Adcal.

As this time I'll be on Omeprazole as well as the Pred and AdCal I realise this is a different chemical mix from last time so in this respect I'm a newbie.

My suitcase now exists of Ibrance, Adcal and painkillers if needed, hopefully not. My newTricia Ashley novel thanks to the lovely Clare and Sandra recommending the books, I am now hooked.

Advice please - is it necessary to take Adcal when my bone profile shows good calcium levels? When I next speak to the Doc (in a months time!) Im going to ask him if he will prescribe me just Vit.D.

I had a dexa scan a year ago which showed borderline osteopenia and I take Adcal-D3. I also showed negative on the Rheumatoid factor test. My last CRP and ESR were on 14th Feb and both good. I have since reduced to 5mg from 5.5mg. The wrist pain has become more noticeable since then.

I already take Curcumin and Vit K2 on top of ADCAL supplements and wondered if anyone has used Proteolytic Enzymes. Are they worth the money? I am currently on 7.5mg Steriods and taking Alendronic acid too.

I take 2 prescription Adcal - D3 daily. (each tab = 1500mg calcium carbonate and 400 I.U colecalciferol equivalent 10mg D3)

Can someone please remind me of the mantra for taking these ? I am sure i read not to take Omeprazole with Pred as it affects absorption and know for sure that Omeprazole affects the absorption of calcium and Vit B12. I am currently stable on 5mgs but after 8 weeks my body is still saying no to further

arthritis & am so stiff in the mornings can barely move.I live on the sofa as can’t lie or get out of bed,it’s a recliner so I’m propped up bit in same position all the time.I started them about 3 weeks ago & can definitely move a lot easier,less bone & joint pains,less stiff.I am not on owt except Adcal
