I understand your concern regarding this. Actonel has a warning in their website that this should not be taken if you have low blood calcium levels as the levels of calcium may further go down with the use of this drug. I would suggest that you proceed with the calcium supplementation and talk to your doctor about retesting the levels of calcium after about a month to see if this would come up. After that, then you may already have no contraindications is using Actonel.
All of these drugs and supplements may aid in preventing side effects of aromasin such as that of further lowering of bone mineral density and bone pains.
