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?

Supplement advice anyone?
Won’t take the
Adcal
prescribed as I believe it’s not a good quality of calcium?

Vitamin K2 Dosage
I have been on
Adcal
for 5 months but have not taken Vitamin K. I have been advised to take AA due to being diagnosed with osteopenia in the lumbar spine and osteoporosis in one hip. I took it for a year when I was on steroid treatment but came off of it 9 months ago.

Adcal and blood test monitoring
I have been prescribed
Adcal
twice a day but wasn’t given it during the 18 months of steroid treatment. My question is do you need blood calcium monitored on a regular basis. My blood test on completion of steroid treatment showed normal calcium levels but slightly low Vitamin D.

Calcium/vitD
When I was first diagnosed I was given
Adcal
by the specialist GP, I took these for a month, when I saw my GP she said she had a better calcium supplement that you only have to take once a day. She gave me theical-D3 1000mg/880iu chewable tablets. They contain less calcium than the
adcal
.

Whats going on??
And also
Adcal
2 tablets per day. I am not sure why my FT4 shot up to 31 or why it has now dropped to 10, after 22 years of being between 16 and 19. Would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for reading.

ADCAL d3
Hi Everyone, what are your thoughts on
ADCAL
D3 supplement, my rheumatologist wants me to start on it, he says given my young age (56) and being on steroids, I am due a DEXA scan soon- am already taking vitamin D anyway as I always do in the winter months, and I eat a lot of calcium rich foods- any thoughts

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.

Update on progress
Also she thinks I may need to go back on the lansoprazole as I have been getting some heartburn on and off, I think it's the
Adcal
myself but she seemed concerned so it's better to get it checked.

GCA helpful information (I hope).
Calcium/ Vitamin D supplement ( such as
ADCAL
); if you have bran or whole grain cereals for breakfast ( as I do), you should leave 2 hours before taking your
ADCAL
(likewise, for foods rich in oxalic acid (Spinach, rhubarb). ..... and why do they put sucrose in these tablets?

Advice for K2 please
My Rheumy has taken me off
Adcal
. I take Vit D but wonder what effect large doses of
Adcal
have had on my arteries. Where is the best place to get K2 if I decide I need it?
