If you are on Tymlos or Forteo, don't take too much calcium. I was still trying to get 1200 MG between food and supplements. A 24 hour urine test showed way too much calcium. I cut back on calcium, had another urine test which showed less calcium but still too high. Now I don't take any supplemental calcium and need to have another 24 hr urine test. Osteo wants to take me off Tymlos in fear of kidney stones. I will go off it if my next test still shows too much calcium. Apparently, these medications increase the amount of calcium.
