CVS Pharmacy Calcium 600 + D —

When Dr. Forbes suggested I try Caltrate 600 + D, she also gave me a cheaper option -- CVS Pharmacy Calcium 600 + D. These two medicines may not be identical but they deliver the same payload of 600 mg. Calcium and 400 IU Vitamin D. I was surprised at how much more economical they were. I mean, 60 caplets Caltrate 600 + D for $8 or 400 caplets CVS Pharmacy Calcium 600 + D at $11.99! Is that a deal or what -- DUH?!!! Like the Caltrate, this CVS stuff only requires taking two a day so now I'm all set for 200 days for less than $12.

STATS:

Aside from the 600 mg. Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate) and 400 IU Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol), this medicine also includes Croscarmellose, Cellulose (Plant Origin), Cellulose Coating, Titanium Dioxide Color, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, and FD&C Yellow No. 6 Lake.

WARNING:

There is a standard warning on the label common to many medications that people who are pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications should consult their doctors before use.

It's so nice to hear from you! Yah, there are some real deals to be had out there, especially when there are the BOGO things going on. I had a pretty good deal though too because I didn't really have to pay for mine at all. I cashed in 6,000 some MyPoints for a $50 CVS gift card!

How are you and Vincent and Persia doing? It's kind of nice to have the cooler autumn weather coming in, isn't it? Although this summer wasn't too awfully hot.

Did you hear -- the California State lottery Mega-thing is up to $333 million!

Well, have a nice evening, Pam. I think of you often and I wish we could meet someday.

Best Regards, Anne

I use this too Anna. I even got one bottle free during a sale. Good times! LOL

I'm so glad your "annual" went okay, Angela. You have had your share of scary stuff and deserve nothing but the best in the future.

I had my "annual" just yesterday and my doctor probed my the amount of calcium in my vitamins too. Very helpful review Anna.

MAN, if I could have gotten a BOGO deal on THIS one, I would have been flying high! Thanks for the tip, gonna keep an eye out. How's one of my favorite people today?

You've gotta take care of dem bones, Jo! Remember . .. "The HIP bone's connected to the THIGH bone, the THIGH bone's connected to the ANKLE bone."

Hope you and Hannah and the whole crew are having a nice Sunday!

Calcium - yup must take. Jo

I once saw a report that if you're going to take one vitamin supplement, it should be vitamin D.

Also, CVS often has buy one, get one free sales on vitamins, so keep an eye out for that.
