I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. The Dr. Advised me to have supracal in the morning and evening along with calcirol. I had it for 4 months. Last week I got sudden pain in my back and it was found I had kidney stone of 7 mm in left kidney. Has stone developed due to intake of calcium.

Yes, high intake of calcium can cause kidney stones. Replace calcium carbonate by calcium citrate as it is more bioavailable, that is more easily absorbed by the body. Also increase your water intake (5-6 litres).
