Calcium Carbonate(Algae Source)+Calcium+Cholecalciferol (Vit. D3)

Each film-coated tablet contains Calcium Carbonate (Algae Source) 1250 mg equivalent to elemental Calcium 500 mg and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 200 IU. The calcium from algae source is extracted from red algae found on the shores of South America. It has higher absorption rate (75%) compared to other calcium sources.

Treatment of osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, tetany, hypoparathyroidism, calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency prevention during pregnancy and lactation.

Specific mineral & vitamin combined preparations

Calcium supplement + Vitamin D3

Calcium from algae source ensures better absorption than coral or other calcium carbonate due to its fibrous chemical structure. Calcium is absorbed in the intestine, enters the bloodstream and is deposited in bones. Vitamin D3 aids in calcium absorption from the GI tract and stimulates bone formation.

Calcium helps maintain bone mineralization and density and ensures normal nerve and muscle function. Vitamin D3 increases absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestine. Calcium and Vitamin D3 have synergistic effects on bone growth, osteoporosis prevention and fracture prevention.

Adults: 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at night or as directed by the physician.

Can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew or crush.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Common side effects: Irregular heartbeat, nausea, dry mouth, weakness, headache, metallic taste in mouth, muscle or bone pain. Rare side effects: Hypercalcemia, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite.

Caution should be taken in patients with renal impairment, sarcoidosis, hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. Discontinue if hypercalcemia occurs. Patients with history of kidney stones should increase fluid intake.

Hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, metastatic calcification, hypersensitivity to any component, severe renal failure.

Calcium salts reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, ciprofloxacin, fluorides, iron, levothyroxine, tetracycline and zinc. Absorption of calcium salts is reduced by corticosteroids. Increased risk of hypercalcemia when given with thiazide diuretics. Maintain at least 4 hours gap with tetracyclines.

Certain foods (e.g., spinach, milk and milk products) may reduce intestinal calcium uptake.

Use during pregnancy under physician supervision.

Pregnancy Category: C — always consult a doctor before taking during pregnancy.

Use during lactation under physician supervision.
