Conclusion: Considering the internal and external validity of the evidence, tranexamic acid cannot be recommended for routine use. Additional trials in which tranexamic acid is used in combination with the currently recommended interventions are required.
PubMed 22258969 ↗Conclusion: The phosphate-binding equivalent dose was then defined as the dose of each binder in g × its RPBC, which would be the binding ability of an equivalent weight of calcium carbonate. The phosphate-binding equivalent dose may be useful in comparing changes in phosphate binder prescription over time when multiple binders are being prescribed, when estimating an initial binder prescription, and also in phosphate kinetic modeling.
PubMed 21338393 ↗Conclusion: There are a limited number of studies evaluating the treatment of CPPD. High quality evidence is rather limited, while commonly administered agents such as NSAIDs, colchicine and corticosteroids have not been evaluated by RCTs. The need for high quality evidence supporting specific treatment modalities is urgent for this common yet neglected form of arthritis.
PubMed 33360232 ↗Conclusion: In addition, clinical measures of rebleeding should be included. Other important outcome measures include mortality (30-day or in-hospital), need for emergency surgery or blood transfusion and adverse events (major or minor).

“I tried bisglycinate citrate carbonate and oxide so far and carbonate was the cheapest safest and most useful I think.”
“magnesium carbonate, lactate, hydroxide. Made me dare to look strangers in the eyes once, then stopped working completely.”
“carbonate is for heart burn so not really appropriate as a supplement”
