How do you guys explain to a patient that elemental calcium is different than what is listed on the bottle (calcium carb or calcium citrate)? And how to help them calculate their total daily dose based on that.
I have tried math (0.4 x the bottles listed mg for carb & 0.21 for citrate), I've tried making a table with a column for "Mg listed on the Bottle," "Ca Carb elemental," and "Ca Citrate elemental."
I am located in a rheumatology clinic and we manage a lot of patient's osteoporosis.
