Whether your Calcium supplements contain magnesium and vit D3 or u take it separately all the three things?

Dear the calcium supplement is Osteocare. Its two tablets has calcium 800,magnesium 300,zinc 10mg and small amount of vitamin d, so I take Vitamin D separately also. For details of supplements I just started recently, you can check http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php/topic,118.120.html.

He is taking 1500 mg  Desirox & Thyrox -25 daily.  His wt. is 44 kg &  ht. is 5 feet 4 inches.
Among cal. vit. B,C,E,Protein Folic acid, & any other supplement  what should he take & in which quantity? Please help me to arrange his daily dose of supplements. Thanks.

You also need to ensure that he is getting adequate transfusions.  Low hemoglobin can be very detrimental to the bones.  You should aim to keep the hemoglobin above 10 at all times - while also focusing on chelation and supplementation. 

Best,
Sharmin
