Calcium and vitamin d intake to avoid osteoporosis while on pred?
I am curious to know how much
calcium
and vitamin d people are taking in order to stave off possible osteoporosis while taking prednisone. Currently, I'm taking about 1,000 mg per day of
calcium
, total, from food and supplement, and about 1400 IU (35 mcg) of vitamin d, mainly from supplements.

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
I can’t take any
calcium
channel blockers as they all interact with another med I take, which is carbemazepine. When I do eventually need an AOC, the only one I can take is warfarin. Currently I cannot take any if the newer ones, due to this other medication. So my medications are limited.

Looking for feedback: should I consider meds again? Change drs?
My dr did not suggest
calcium
because he feels that I get enough with nutrition plus he thinks it can have negative cardiovascular risk). I am confused by all the approaches and info out there. Are my numbers mild or moderate? What happens if I just keep doing what I am doing without medication?

Update on weaning off Prednisolone - Methotrexate- any good?
He also said he would get my GP to put
calcium
tablets on my repeat prescription as there was no room left on the prescription he was writing?? I was happy with the meeting with him, thanks to the advice given here. Thank you all.

New to this group and looking to learn
It was my third DEXA scan over the last 10 years following removal of my thyroid for thyroid cancer and subsequent thyroid replacement therapy, and I've watched a continuing decrease in bone density in spite of taking
calcium
and exercising.

Shout out to my GP
old shoulder break and the arthritis; discussed a DEXA scan, not happening as the rheumatologists don’t think it’s needed so discussed the usefulness of Aledronic Acid at this stage to help prevent osteoporosis - not taking it as yet, I’m not happy to add extra drugs into my regime, but using the

Diet Supplements
I ordered some and see there is 200mg of
calcium
in them. I’ve read that too much Vit C can be harmful. One of my GPS sneered at me when I mentioned supplements so I don’t know how to get the best advice about what can and can’t be taken with my meds. Any ideas?

Calcium products and calcification of coronary artery,
Hi, I had a stent in left coronary artery due to
calcium
deposits and narrowing on angiogram 3 years ago, all other arteries were fine. I read a lot of stuff about
calcium
supplements laying down
calcium
on your arteries causing a blockage.
