Brief Answer:
She can have K2 MK-7.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through the detailed history. She can take Vitamin K2 MK7 as it helps in better bone deposition and bone health. Between 100-300mcg per day is considered a standard dose. Dosages up to 600mcg per day for certain conditions may be necessary. She can start with 100 mcg per day and get her T- score and Z-score checked again to monitor the effect.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
Wishing you good health.

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX

Thank you for your quick response and taking out time to respond to my query. Few last questions:


1) Will K2 have any interference in the workings of existing medicines the patient is taking?
2) We have heard that vitamin K2 is helpful for blood clotting (i.e. it is used to reverse the effects of “blood thinning” medications. Patient is not taking any blood thinning medications). What should we keep in mind considering this aspect in case of any future emergencies?
3) Presently patient is taking Cholecalciferol 60000 IU, one tablet, every 15 days. Is this ok?
4) About calcium, does this combination has better absorption than others at this age and health condition?
Tab. Ezorb Forte, "Calcium Aspartate Anhydrous 500 mg.
Calcium Orotate 500 mg.

Thank you very much and have a good day ahead.

Brief Answer:
Details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
1) K2 will not interfere with the drugs that she is taking now.
2) This usually does not interfere with any emergency situation. Just take the medication after putting it into your physician's knowledge.
3) Regarding cholecalciferol, it is best to get her Vitamin D3 levels checked and then get the dosage adjusted accordingly.
4) The calcium you have mentioned has a good absorption but for better results she can start with coral calcium like Corcium C.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
