recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. -2.6. had calcium oxalate stones removed years back that s why i ve never taken calcium supplements. taking eltroxin lifetime maintenance since toxic thyroid surgery 40 plus years ago. what to do? should i see an endocrinologist? is it true thyroid and osteo medications are not good together? had cortisone injection on planter fascitis on right heel 3 years ago,is this caused by osteo?
Hi, Yes, it is not advisable to take thyroid and osteoporosis medications together. To ensure adequate absorption for the intestines Elton should always be taken on an empty stomach 2 hours before breakfast. If taken along with osteoporosis medications, Elton absorption will be reduced thus lowering its therapeutic usefulness.  Hence, osteoporosis medication should be taken 3-4 hours after Elton. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain due to inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). It is not caused by osteoporosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
