Do I need to change my diet while taking tiludronate?

Stacy Wiegman, PharmD

You should try to make sure your diet is rich in calcium and vitamin D while taking tiludronate (Skelid). Calcium-rich foods include milk, cheese and other dairy products, fortified orange juice and many dark green vegetables. Check with a dietitian or online for other good sources of both nutrients. If for some reason you can't get enough of what you need from food sources, find out about taking a calcium/vitamin D supplement; your pharmacist may be able to advise you.
