Can I take Abirab with vitamin D?

Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Abirab. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Abirab as the long term use of Abirab decreases the absorption of calcium and may lead to calcium deficiency. This can lead to osteoporosis (thinning of bones) and increase the risk of bone fractures like hip, wrist and spine fractures. Please consult your doctor to know about ways to prevent this.
