Experiences with

Adcal-D3

Has anyone had this prescribed? I went to collect my monthly prescription and this was added to it. I wasn’t expecting it and of course googled it. But just wondered if anyone else has had it and if they experienced side effects. Thankyou

When pred was first prescribed I was also prescribed Adcal-D3 and Alendronic Acid. Why? Are these reduced as the pred is reduced, now on 8 down from 20?

Will a calcium and D3 diet be better than taking Adcal D3. Also on 20 mg omeprazole which can lessen calcium absorption.

After the problem with delay in receiving meds, this am I find I should take 2.5mgs Pred 3 daily and1tab Adcal -d3 twice daily. No phone call from surgery advising me of when to take them or should I take Adcal since I have been on prescription VitD for many years.

I ensure my first dose is at least 4 hours after the levothyroxine Pregnacare Plus Omega 3 - I currently take this at bedtime Adcal D3 - 2 tablets - I currently take this at bedtime I’ve been taking high dose folic acid at bedtime but this stops on Sunday as I’ll be 12 weeks pregnant On Sunday I’ll

I take Ibrance and Letrazole together with a monthly Denosumab injection and Adcal +D3. I’ve been having bad cramp in my legs and hands. Mostly wakes me during the night. My Cancer Nurse advised Magnesium.

On the morning of my infusions I skip my first dose of Adcal D3. If you are taking a bisphosphonate, such as zometa, you should not take Adcal D3 within four hours of an infusion. The leaflet that comes in the box explains all that.

Now on 17.5 Pred, Adcal D3, Lanzoprazole 15mg. Thyroxine 75mg Any ideas or help appreciated please.

Currently recovering 🤔 at home after a 3 night stay in hospital, have been released with 125micrograms of levo to take once a day along with adcal-d3 calcium tabs (2 x day).

Added Alendronic acid due to a poor Dexa scan result and also take Adcal D3, K2 and magnesium for my bones. I reduced the pred slowly and steadily but struggled to get lower that 12.5mg without pain returning.

Aside from my Levothyroxine (150mg) I also take Bendrofumethiaze (a water table re blood pressure) Adcal-D3 which I was told is not good as Plain vitamin D is better so I will be changing this. Those are all prescribed. I also take myself Selenium Vitamin c Turmeric Garlic Evening Primrose oil.

I take 5 Adcal +D3 over every two day period. I wondered if my level dropped due to Radiation but apparently this isn’t so. I have to increase the Adcal now. I have started taking Magnesium due to cramp, some of you lovely ladies on here recommended it. It has been great. It has worked.

Hello I was prescribed Adcal D3 750 Mg caplets three years ago after a Dexa scan result showed osteopenia. The GP label directions on the box were for one caplet twice a day.

Can I ask if anybody S taking Adcal D3 along with Pred? My GP has asked me to consider taking it. It's a calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 chewable obtained under prescription. However it does come with side effects.

Sort of related to my last post and in case my next telephone appointment with docs is not totally productive do people have a preferred make/type of vitamin D (Adcal D3?) K2 and anything else sensible to be taking? Also what strength? There seems to be a huge choice on the market.

Also asked about whether I should be on Vit D-(Adcal D3) and Vit K2. No problem with the Pred prescription, assuming it what I asked for, quite agreed with me regarding the Vits, but no prescription.

Wish I'd found this forum earlier, thank you to all for helpful advice and comments. I was diagnosed in Jan 2019 with PMR and my GP def thought I had GCA leading up to that (terrible migraine like continuous headaches, sickness, light sensitivity and massive weight loss - couldn't eat anything really

I have taken Adcal for years but I opened a new batch and found the tablets had a strange taste so opened a second pack... they were fine. Now my next lot have the same strange taste. Has anyone else noticed this?

I was diagnosed in June 2019 with PMR after an unexpected attack out of the blue , when I was in so much pain I couldn't move and began shaking and with my teeth chattering. An excellent GP pulled out all the stops, arranged immediate blood tests and other examinations and very soon prescribed prednisolone

I have no idea what I’m expecting anyone to help with but I get so sick of being fobbed off by doctors that I just feel the need to vent somewhere. To give a brief history I’ve not felt well since the birth of my 6th child 7 years ago. Exhaustion, sleep issues, period issues, I got diagnosed in 2019
