Experiences with

Adcal-D3

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.

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.

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

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?

Adcal-D3 contains soy oil - I thought soy contained plant oestrogen which was similar to human? Is it safe to take given my oncologist has stopped my HRT and refused vaginal oestrogen which has a very low dose of oestrogen but is deemed too risky?  2.

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 had a tele appt a week ago with GP and she has prescribed some more pred but also AA & Adcal D3, neither of these were given to me before (whilst on higher pred????) which seems strange?

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

Hi, can anyone recommend an alternative to Adcal D3 tablets on prescription? I really find them revolting and far too sweet! Thank you for your help 😊

I still take Adcal-D3 for my bones because of osteoporosis/osteopenia but GP is talking of extra protection for my bones. Is it still Alendronic acid ? Thanks.

Graves Disease -Subtotal Thyroidectomy 1989 Radioactive Iodine 1994 I currently take Levothyroxine 75mcg Monday to Saturday then 100mcg Sunday I was diagnosed with osteopenia after having 2x vertebral compression fractures and started adcal D3 plus HRTDec 2021 I haven’t seen GP as this was a private

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 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, I diagnosed with lupus 3.5 years ago now I'm taking Mychophalanate, Hdroxycholorquine, Prednisolne 5MG, Adcal D3 Tablets, Lansoprazole1 tab per day and taking omega 3 fish oil capsules 2 per day.

I was originally diagnosed with osteoporosis 4 years ago at the age of 52 and was managed initially with HRT and Adcal/Vit D3 which worked. Unfortunately last October I was diagnosed with PMR and commenced on Prednisolone 15mg o.d.

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.

The Doctor prescribed Adcal-D3 Lemon chewable tablets that I take twice a day. I’m also taking Thorne basic B complex and also Holland and Barrett’s B12. All the last tests were done at 9am with no Levo 24h before and stopped all supplements 5days before.

Those who have read my previous posts will know that after discussion I had a flare (we think due to bivalent covid vaccine) so now back up to 12mg.So need advice and ideas from any of you good folks with medical science experience, knowledge or background re vit D3 etc. Dexascan compared to 3 yrs ago

I also have Trimbow inhaler due to COPD, plus Simvastatin, and Alendronic Acid and Adcal D3, Paroxetine and Mirtazapine, all for several years or more. I had a premature menopause in my 30's, and have osteoporosis. I am now 62. The antidepressants were my saviour back then!!!
