I have been taking evacal for bone health after breast cancer 4 years ago. When I collected my prescription I noticed I now have adcal which are slightly different as they need to be chewed whereas the evacal tend to dissolve in your mouth. I'd been taking the adcal for about a week and I suffered the most agonising stomach pains which lasted more than 12 hours. I have been to the doctors and was checked over and deemed ok. My pains had gone by then. I am now suffering with bloating and some discomfort but nothing as bad as before and I have read that adcal can cause these symptoms. I am going to stop taking them to see if it resolves the problem but don't understand why these would give this side effect when the evacal never did. My prescription didn't change. It was the pharmacy which have given me an alternative. Has anyone else been affected in this way
Hi Rozalia I had the Adcal that you chew. Took two a day. I now have the ones that you can swallow. I am only taking two a day, should I have four a day, never read the leaflet 
. I have been on Adcal for 13 years with no side effects.
