Hello,
Side effects of Caltrate, Collagen and Osteo Bi-Flex are not so serious so these medicines can be taken for a longer period of time.
But for your information the side effects are as follows:
Caltrate - Constipation or stomach upset
Collagen - No significant side effects
Osteo Bi-Flex - Nausea,stomach pain,constipation,puffy eyelids.
These side effects are manageable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
