Experiences with

Adcal

Adcal how long do we have to take it. I know it's to help the bones when on prednisolone. X

My other issue is my nurse has told me to stop Adcal d3 and only continue with Vit D3 she will do a blood test in 3 months to recheck calcium levels.

Has anyone got side effects from the aa and adcal. At moment not feeling good on all of them

I am taking HRT and Adcal and wondering if I can do without AA? My osteoporosis was discovered after a spinal fracture, T- 3.4. I’m 53 yrs old. Thanks for any replies.

about taking Adcal and explained that a lot of people on this forum were automatically prescribed it when put on steroids. GP asked about my diet and said I was getting plenty of calcium in my diet.

Resting a lot more, taking AdCal/ Vit D supplements and following advice in here have upped dietary intake of calcium ( enjoying hot milk before bed!). Have been told I don’t need a Dexa scan. have got Vit D/ K2 from Amazon.

Take Lansoprazole and AdCal. Spoke to very pleasant nurse at BLT.

Lunchtime I take Adcal D3 and Atorvastatin 20mg then a 2nd Adcal D3 with evening dinner. I've been a Vegetarian for ~30 years and previously to PMR took Multivitamins every day as B12 deficiency can be a problem in veggies I believe. Question.

is there anything more palatable in the way of Calcium D3?

She immediately put me on Pred, AA, Adcal & Omeprazole. Since being at the new surgery 3 years now, I’ve not once had a conversation with any doctor about my meds, so I just do my own thing.

Omniprazole, Adcal, - lisinpril and now indapamide for raised blood pressure. I felt so poorly this morning with violent headache and shaky all over I phoned surgery and had a call back and then saw GP. She checked me over and called the Rheumatology consultant - who then phoned me back.

Due to the PMR I started in June taking Adcal-D3 750mg/200unit caplets x 2 twice a day. These are the results good -fair -bad? I am a female 62 no issues.

Levothyroxine, Liothyronine, Prednisolone, Risedronate, Omeprazole (twice a day), Adcal (dissolvable twice a day). Thank you.

No other meds, just AdCal D3. Don't want to mess things up towards the finish line. Busy active person. Asked my large surgery for a Cortisol test. Never heard of it. They've contacted Addenbrookes for advice!

I already take Adcal Dissolve x 2 & Vit D & intend starting Vit K2 if I can get the go ahead from my doctor to be OK with my heart meds. I also walk quite a bit for exercise - between 6500 to 10000 steps a day.

I saw a rheumatologist and he prescribed adcal d3 caplets and Risedronate . Initially I had a few side effects , mainly gastro as I have a sensitive stomach anyway and some bowel issues which have eased.

I have been on steroids since March 2024 for (PMR) and tapering, currently at 10mg also Adcal D3 . Why I am surprised, is that I am a yoga teacher and practice / teach yoga eight to 10 times a week for years.

Has anyone else suffered from nausea when taking Adcal-D3 chewable? I was wondering if the tablets contain lactose, as I'm allergic to it. Since having been diagnosed with a fractured L2 and osteoporosis, the RA team and my GP both recommend them. I was taking Solgar Calcium Citrate with Vit D.

What I'd like to know is, is there any guidance or advice on how long I should continue with alendronic acid, adcal and lanzoprazol for? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I take Levothyroxine 100mg Lisinopril 10mg Cyanocominn 50mg Adcal-D3 and I’m still on Prednisilone 7mg ( lowest I have got down to is 5mg but can’t seem to get below 7mg at the moment) I occasionally take Co-Codamol for Osteoarthritis in knees.
