You should stop taking calcium supplements indiscriminately

  With the advent of an aging society, there are more and more elderly patients with osteoporosis who suffer from perennial back pain. There are also many people in hospitals who are unable to work, live and exercise normally for months or even long periods of time after a fracture. Most people agree that calcium supplements are needed in these cases, but how to properly “”supplement calcium””?  I. “The varieties of calcium supplements” Usually we will give you three kinds of drugs orally: osteopontin, risedronate, and calcium D. II.  2.Calcium D. Take 1 tablet (600mg) before bedtime or after dinner with a sip of water.  3.Osteotriol One capsule (0.25ug) in the morning and one capsule in the evening, taken at the same time with the above two drugs respectively.  3. “Points to note about calcium supplementation” 1. It is clinically found that very few patients may suffer from indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort after taking risedronate.  2. It is clinically found that very few patients may develop rash and itching after taking osteopontin.  3. It is found that a very small number of patients may develop hypercalcemia and even stone attack after taking Calcium D for a long time.  There is no need to panic when the above situation occurs, please stop the medication and inform your doctor and deal with it accordingly. It should be noted that the combination of the above drugs is not simply a so-called “calcium supplement”, but also a mechanism to promote blood calcium absorption, bone calcium deposition and inhibit bone calcium destruction. After long-term “calcium supplementation”, you need to monitor blood calcium and kidney function indicators, please consult your doctor.  Fourth, other methods of “calcium supplementation” There is also a kind of Swiss imported “MIGUDA injection”, 100ml/bottle, only need to infuse once a year, the price is more than 3000 yuan.  Geriatric patients who follow the above methods of calcium supplementation and still have osteoporotic compression fractures should not be alarmed. Minimally invasive percutaneous “bone cement injection” can be very effective in strengthening the bone and relieving pain, ask your doctor if necessary.
