I've just had some recent bloods done and my calcium is low so I've been prescribed Adcal D3 to take twice daily, would anyone know whether I can take these tablets at the same time as my levothyroxine as there is nothing on the box or leaflet to mention any thing and I rung the pharmacy to ask themI've just had some recent bloods done and my calcium is low so I've been prescribed Adcal D3 to take twice daily, would anyone know whether I can take these tablets at the same time as my levothyroxine as there is nothing on the box or leaflet to mention any thing and I rung the pharmacy to ask them

Algaecal advice please

Hi I am hoping to change my calcium supplement from adcal - D3 (prescribed by endo) to Algaecal. My osteoporosis is getting much worse and I have been taking Adcal for many years.Hi I am hoping to change my calcium supplement from adcal - D3 (prescribed by endo) to Algaecal.

Side Effects of Calcium and vitD3

I started to retake above again but not religiously, then 6months ago I found I had been prescribed Adcal-D3, when I enquired of the Chemist was told I must need it and of course when I saw the GP recently omitted to ask and know I must. Any information or thoughts please.I started to retake above again but not religiously, then 6months ago I found I had been prescribed Adcal-D3, when I enquired of the Chemist was told I must need it and of course when I saw the GP recently omitted to ask and know I must.

Am I being stupid? Follow up

I am assuming that my calcium will come from eating a calcium rich diet plus the daily Adcal-D3 tablet? I shall then take VitK2 to help absorption plus VitD3. Should I try to get appointment with new GP and suggest blood tests?I am assuming that my calcium will come from eating a calcium rich diet plus the daily Adcal-D3 tablet?

Left in limbo, I don't know how my appointments are going to work.

She prescribed 15 mg mxt along with prednisolone, plus the usual alendronic acid, adcal D3, folic acid, lansoprazole. I saw this consultant a second time in March then she sadly retired. Everything went to plan in blood tests and drugs nurse appointments, then in April a locum took over.She prescribed 15 mg mxt along with prednisolone, plus the usual alendronic acid, adcal D3, folic acid, lansoprazole.

Since April, have discovered a Solgar Calcium Citrate + magnesium supplement which doesn’t cause me extreme constipation like the Adcal D3 which I had given up on, quite the opposite in fact. Also taking Vit K2 with my vit D after reading advice on this forum.Since April, have discovered a Solgar Calcium Citrate + magnesium supplement which doesn’t cause me extreme constipation like the Adcal D3 which I had given up on, quite the opposite in fact.

I know we need to take Adcal D3 tablets (and I didn't know I should have been taking 4 tabs per day....oops I am a dunce). However I found out yesterday we should be taking Omega 3 oil 3.5 g per day. Did you know this? Will help to reduce suffering. What do you think?I know we need to take Adcal D3 tablets (and I didn't know I should have been taking 4 tabs per day....oops I am a dunce).

Having a tough time finding supplements

Another one also contained vitamin D, but I already take Adcal D3, which contains vitamin D and I have been advised not to take anymore, otherwise I will end up overdosing and I don't want to end up with hypercalcaemia. I have not yet added any of these supplements to my daily regime.Another one also contained vitamin D, but I already take Adcal D3, which contains vitamin D and I have been advised not to take anymore, otherwise I will end up overdosing and I don't want to end up with hypercalcaemia.

Medication side effects

I currently take MMF, Co Trimoxazole, furosemide, prednisolone, adcal d3, lanzoprazole, allopurinol, atorvastatin and warfarin and wondering if anyone else has side effects of visiting the toilet 2 maybe 3 times per day regardless of how healthy I'm eating.I currently take MMF, Co Trimoxazole, furosemide, prednisolone, adcal d3, lanzoprazole, allopurinol, atorvastatin and warfarin and wondering if anyone else has side effects of visiting the toilet 2 maybe 3 times per day regardless of how healthy I'm eating.
