  • Adequate Calcium in the blood is vital for various bodily functions. Clinical evidence suggests that Calcium is useful for the prevention and treatment of Osteoporosis and associated fractures. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones as it aids in Calcium absorption from the GI tract and stimulates bone formation. Calcium carbonate is sourced from coral origin, ensuring better absorption. Vitamin D3 aids in the absorption of Calcium from the GI tract and helps to maintain Calcium balance in the body. One tablet once or twice daily with plenty of water or as directed by the physician. Taking on a full stomach ensures better absorption. Thiazide diuretics reduce the urinary excretion of calcium. Due to the increased risk of hypercalcaemia, serum calcium should be regularly monitored during concomitant use of thiazide diuretics. Systemic corticosteroids reduce calcium absorption.
  • Orally administered Calcium Carbonate may be irritating to the GI tract. It may also cause constipation. Hypercalcemia is rarely produced by administration of Calcium alone but may occur when large doses are given to patients with chronic renal failure. Also, there may be allergic reactions, irregular heartbeats, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite dry mouth, and drowsiness. During pregnancy, the daily intake should not exceed 1500 mg calcium and 600 IU cholecalciferol (15 mcg vitamin D). Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity with a high dose of vitamin D. In pregnant women, overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided as permanent hypercalcaemia has been related to adverse effects on the developing fetus. Store at a temperature below 30°C, protect from light & moisture, and keep out of the reach of children.

Contraindications

  • Hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism
  • Hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis
  • Hypersensitivity to the component of this preparation
  • Severe renal insufficiencies
  • Concomitant digoxin therapy (requires careful monitoring of serum Calcium level)

Side effects

  • Orally administered Calcium Carbonate may be irritating to the GI tract. It may also cause constipation.

Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity with a high dose of vitamin D. In pregnant women, overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided as permanent hypercalcaemia has been related to adverse effects on the developing fetus. There are no indications that vitamin D at therapeutic doses is teratogenic in humans. Elemental Calcium & Vitamin D3 tablet can be used during pregnancy, in case of a calcium and vitamin D deficiency. Elemental Calcium & Vitamin D3 tablet can be used during breast-feeding. Calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk. This should be considered when giving additional vitamin D to the child.

Precautions warnings

  • During long-term treatment, serum calcium levels should be followed and renal function should be monitored through measurement of serum creatinine. Monitoring is especially important in elderly patients on concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides or diuretics and in patients with a high tendency to calculus formation. In case of hypercalcemia or signs of impaired renal function, the dose should be reduced or the treatment discontinued. Vitamin D should be used with caution in patients with impairment of renal function and the effect on calcium and phosphate levels should be monitored.
