Adequate Calcium in the blood is vital for a wide variety of bodily functions.

Vitamin D aids in Calcium absorption from the GI tract and stimulates bone formation. Clinical studies show that Calcium and vitamin D have synergistic effects on bone growth and in Osteoporosis and fracture prevention.

Dissolve 1 effervescent tablet in a glass of water to drink orally. Stir the solution with a spoon before drinking. Taking in full stomach ensures better absorption.

Pregnancy lactation
During pregnancy, the daily intake should not exceed 1500 mg calcium and 600 IU cholecalciferol. Overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided as they may lead to permanent hypercalcaemia and adverse effects on the foetus. There are no indications that vitamin D at therapeutic doses is teratogenic in humans. Calcium and vitamin D3 tablet can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Precautions warnings
Serum calcium levels should be followed during long-term treatment. 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.
Overdose effects
Overdose can lead to hypervitaminosis D and hypercalcaemia. Symptoms of hypercalcaemia may include anorexia, thirst, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, and more. Treatment includes discontinuation of calcium, rehydration, and close monitoring of serum electrolytes and renal function.
