I am taking Citracal & D Slow Release 1200 as a supplement once a day. My bone density scans have been great for years. I checked with my doctor and pharmacist because of the warning on the box about slow release possibly interacting with other meds and because of MediGuard's warning of same. Both gentlemen assured me there is no problem with this product so I am satisfied with their answers.

I take calcium with vitamin d3 and sertraline. Is it ok to take these two together? I have early menopause and the sertraline is 25mg and the calcium d3 1000mg

I have been on Crestor for some time and did stop for a month and my cholesterol went up again. I then went back. I take it lunchtime as well as one of the calcium pills, which does not take away from the effect of the Crestor. I take another calcium dinnertime, which does not interfere with the baby aspirin which I take at bedtime. The Synthroid is taken in the morning several hours before I take a calcium pill so everything is working okay according to my blood tests.
