Can I take an anabolic with consistently high normal serum calcium?

Posted by babbsjoy @babbsjoy, Jun 28 8:25am

Getting my labs all done for meeting with Osteo specialist in two weeks, where will be recommended what type of osteo med. My serum calcium has been consistently high at 10.0, 10.1, etc. Will that mean I can’t take an anabolic? ( and my parathyroid is not high at all, in fact more towards the lower ish end of normal) I know I just have to wait and see what doc says, but I like to anticipate questions, etc. to make good use of time I have with her! Thx for insights….

I did Tymlos for two years and my calcium was 10.1, 10.3 etc. before I started and remained unchanged during treatment. At first I waited a few hours after Tymlos to take any calcium but I later discovered my side effects were better if I took calcium a few hours before. Good to check out with your doctor!
