A member asked:

Can taking caltrate plus make my calcium levels to high dr said blood test results show high calcium levels and to stop taking them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Md evaluation: High intake of calcium can cause elevated levels in the blood. This often occurs in the setting of associated kidney dysfunction. Other causes like hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis must be investigated..
