Can Clatrate D Be Used Instead Of Shelcal 500?

I am breast feeding my baby who is 1.5 years old and I am facing back pain. So, doctor advised me to take shelcal 500. Can I use clatrate D 600 in place of shelcal 500 as the same is not available here. Also, please advise whether above tablets can be used in long run and is it ok to take them if I become pregnant again.

thanx for posting query.
yes you can take clatrate d also in place of shelcal 500. and regarding taking these tablets in the long run , you have not mentioned your age. if you are above 35years then yes you can take them in the long run , otherwise really no need of taking them for a long time provided your calcium and vit. D levels are normal. And yes you can take them during pregnancy.
