Alendronic acid quandary
My doctor has put me on Alendronic acid tablets and 1200 mg calcium supplements(
Adcal
D3). After the first six days I had constipation and consequent haemorrhoids. I took the alendronic acid and a day later that resulted in headaches, muscle tightness in the legs and arms and fatigue.

Vitamin K2 Mk7
I have just ordered this as I have learned from this site that I should be taking this with
AdCal
to help the absorption of the calcium into my bones. The vitamin k is once a day so should i take it with the mid morning
AdCal
or evening one ? Thanks very much. Currently tapering 4.0/3.5 mg.

CATCH UP & DEXA SCAN
I have been prescribed
Adcal
D3 which I am struggling to take ( chewable 2 tabs everyday ) they make me burp and feel queasy, but I must take to help my bones. On the bright side I am taking 5mg of Pred now and not doing too bad ! Also had my Covid booster and flu jab with no side affects.

Newly Diagnosed with PMR - and slightly bewildered!
I have been put on Prednisolone (initially 15 mg but the pain did not clear, so two days ago it was raised to 20 mg), Lanoprazole 30 mg, Alendronic Acid 70 mg and
Adcal
D-3.

Adcal or not
Recently diagnosed with advanced Osteoporosis she has been prescribed AA and
Adcal
. The doctor suggests that calcium carbonate would be better changed to calcium citrate. I have been taking
Adcal
for 8 +Years and have an increasingly bad stomach and the GP has given me Lansoprazole.

Tail wagging the dog
The effectiveness of the
Adcal
- told you should not be on that long term either. Any advice on how I should approach getting an annual health check. I've been on Steroids since 2017 due to the sensitivity of withdrawal. I am now concerned I am being left to it.

ZOLENDRONIC ACID VERSUS PROLIA?
I stopped Prolia about 3 or so years ago, and apart from
Adcal
have been taking a break from any other treatments. Unfortunately, I have had fracture problems again, and my rheumatologist has convinced me to have a zolendronic acid infusion on Monday (11th October).

Proteolytic Enzymes... Has anyone had any success with them?
I already take Curcumin and Vit K2 on top of
ADCAL
supplements and wondered if anyone has used Proteolytic Enzymes. Are they worth the money? I am currently on 7.5mg Steriods and taking Alendronic acid too.

omeprazole, adcal and prednisilone
Can someone please remind me of the mantra for taking these ? I am sure i read not to take Omeprazole with Pred as it affects absorption and know for sure that Omeprazole affects the absorption of calcium and Vit B12. I am currently stable on 5mgs but after 8 weeks my body is still saying no to further

Fed up doesnt even cover it
Also they suggested swapping the
Adcal
for calcichew , as the former gave me stomach pains. This illness is ruining my life, i feel so down about everything, its all i think about every day and how i can help myself to get better.

Pred/adcal
Advice please - is it necessary to take
Adcal
when my bone profile shows good calcium levels? When I next speak to the Doc (in a months time!) Im going to ask him if he will prescribe me just Vit.D.

Adcal

Newly Diagnosed
I’ve started
Adcal
D3 and I’ve been given Alendronic Acid 70mg. It’s my left hip and lumber spine which is affected, -3•5 in hip, -3•1 in lumber spine. I’ve been told I have a fracture risk of 36%. I’m naturally concerned about the side effects of AA. I also have Asthma and Bronchiectasis.
