Q. Can one take Etidronate Disodium and Calcium Carbonate on the same day as one in the morning and the other in the evening?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• I assume, you are taking both these drugs for osteoporosis.

• I usually do not prefer to use Etidronate as it has to be taken daily.

• And there is nothing like 14 days course. We have better options, to be taken once a month only.

• However coming to your query, I do not find any problem in taking both of them same day.

• But in this case, gastritis may be a little more.

• I always prefer to add vitamin D3 with the calcium, because if Vitamin D3 levels are low, there would not be much effective absorption of calcium.

• I hope I was able to solve your query. Kindly discuss with your doctor and re-consider your prescription.
