Dr Chui- question

[Guest guest]

Hi Dr Chui

Some time ago you mentioned " fosomax " and didn't consider it a " good drug "

Here in Canada, I have been put on Didrocal (bone metabolism regulator) Is this

the same

thing.?

It is 14 white etidronate disodium tablets (400 mgm)

76 blue calcium carbonate tablets (500 mgm)

I am really concerned about this particular drug and would appreciate your

input.

Thanks

You have me confused with Dr Mercola who has strong views on this

subject. Didronel and Fosomax are similar drugs.
