Pain Treatment Topics

The Patient Brochure and Practitioner Briefing at first appear to be written for musculoskeletal pain, but both also report an improvement in neuropathic pain. The Practitioner Briefing mentions this study:



The Full Report states the the pain levels (from trial) improved from 'distressing' to 'mild'.

Is there a VIt D overdose? I am supposed to take a 1200mg of calcium a day. But since I am taking gabapentin 3x a day, I could not follow now the 3x a day dosage of calcium ( (less window of squeezing in between gabapentin without compromising absorption) . Instead I only take calcium 1x a day. To help in the absorption of the calcium I take vitd3
2000IU.

Thank you for time.

Some doctors are suggesting to cut back on calcium supplements to 600mg a day tops, when taking high dose Vit D.
