Medicine Details

Each tablet contains Calcium Carbonate USP 1250 mg (Coral source) equivalent to 500 mg of elemental Calcium & Vitamin D USP 200 IU
Each DX tablet contains Calcium Carbonate USP 1500 mg (Coral source) equivalent to 600 mg of elemental Calcium & Vitamin D USP 400 IU
Each effervescent tablet contains Calcium Carbonate (Coral source) USP 1500 mg equivalent to 600 mg of elemental Calcium and Vitamin D3 400 IU as Cholecalciferol USP

Adequate Calcium is vital for bodily functions and is useful for preventing and treating Osteoporosis
Vitamin D aids in Calcium absorption from the GI tract and stimulates bone formation
Coral Calcium has a chemical structure similar to human bone and ensures better absorption
Vitamin D3 aids in absorption of Calcium from the GI tract and helps maintain Calcium balance in the body

One tablet once or twice daily with plenty of water or as directed by the physician
Taking with a full stomach ensures better absorption
Dissolve 1 effervescent tablet in a glass of water and drink orally. Stir the solution before drinking. Taking with a full stomach ensures better absorption

Thiazide diuretics reduce urinary excretion of calcium, requiring regular monitoring of serum calcium
Systemic corticosteroids reduce calcium absorption, potentially necessitating an increase in calcium tablet dose
Concomitant use of ion exchange resins, cholestyramine, or laxatives may reduce absorption of vitamin D
Calcium carbonate may interfere with absorption of tetracycline preparations, requiring administration at least two hours apart
Hypercalcaemia may increase cardiac glycoside toxicity, necessitating monitoring of ECG and serum calcium levels
Coralcin-D should be administered at least three hours before bisphosphonate or sodium fluoride intake to avoid reduced gastrointestinal absorption
Oxalic acid and phytic acid may inhibit calcium absorption, requiring avoidance of calcium products within two hours of consuming these foods

Daily intake should not exceed 1500 mg calcium and 600 IU cholecalciferol
Overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided in pregnant women due to potential adverse effects on the developing fetus
No indications that therapeutic doses of vitamin D are teratogenic in humans
Elemental Calcium & Vitamin D3 tablet can be used during pregnancy and lactation
Calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk, so consideration is needed when giving additional vitamin D to the child

Long-term treatment requires monitoring of serum calcium levels and renal function
Monitoring is important in elderly patients on concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides or diuretics
Monitoring of calcium and phosphate levels is essential in patients with impaired renal function
Extra caution is needed in patients suffering from sarcoidosis
Increased risk of hypercalcemia in immobilized patients with osteoporosis
Caution is advised when prescribing other drugs containing vitamin D
Frequent monitoring of serum calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion is necessary when taking additional doses of calcium or vitamin D

Hypervitaminosis D
Hypercalcemia
Symptoms may include anorexia, thirst, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, mental disturbances, polydipsia, polyuria, bone pain, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias
Persistently high calcium levels may lead to irreversible renal damage and soft tissue calcification
Treatment involves discontinuing calcium and other relevant treatments, stomach emptying, rehydration, monitoring of electrolytes and renal function, and potentially ECG monitoring
