Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have arthritis for which cartisafe is prescribed. You are scary to take it as it has calcium as a component. In place of it you can take cartisafe D which does not contain calcium. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
