Hi Tracy

Can they give higher dose Ca,Mg & Phos by IV? Think that's what happens here if you go too low.

Came home with enough calcium and Vit D for months yesterday!
I had read that when on Zometa you need to watch Calcium level so mentioned to the Nurse. Her reply was we give you Calcium and Vit D when on Zometa. I also mentioned that if calcium already low (which I am) another bisphosphonate might be better. Made no difference - I was getting Zometa regardless.
The tablets given are not particularly high dosage- calcium 1200 and Vit D 800. I have been taking 1000 I.U. a day of Vit D since August & my level is good at 72, so might just continue with my own capsules.
Hoping I'm lucky like you re side effects
