Brief Answer:
Calcium with vitamin D is better

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
The PREGAB M75 is used for the neuropathic pain.
You can take calcium along with it.
If I was your treating doctor I would prefer prescribing medicine with calcium and vitamin D combination. It is a better option for osteoporosis.

Hope the information was helpful to you.
Take care.
