Calcium and cytoxan

Posted by jumper123 @jumper123, Aug 31 2:56am

Can a person take calcium plus D3, supplements two per day along with cytoxan? I have Large granular leukemia.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

Hi @jumper123 Checking with a drug interaction site online there were no negative interactions listed between Cytoxan and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)

However, even though Vit D3 is a very common over the counter supplement, it isn’t without side effects if someone takes too much, especially if your levels are already in the normal range. So the best person to ask about whether this is a good supplement for you would be your doctor. Have you had your Vit D levels checked recently?

Yes my level is on the line between good and not good if I take one Vit D3 per day so on my own I have been taking two per day to get my level more in the good level.
