Vitamin-C is an essential component of the diet as man can not synthesize vitamin-C
Vitamin-C is a very powerful reducing agent
Vitamin-C plays an important part in the response of the body to stress
Calcium is vital to a wide variety of bodily functions

Potentially hazardous interactions: Digoxin, tetracycline, furosemide, pentagastrin, Aminophylline
Potentially useful interactions: Vitamin-D, oxytocin and prostaglandins, Vitamin-C enhances iron absorption

Hypercalcemia (e.g. in hyperparathyroidism, vitamin-D overdosage, decalcifying tumors such as plasmocytoma, bone metastases)
Severe hypercalciuria
Severe renal failure
Patients with hyperoxalauria, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, or iron overload
Larger doses may lead to gastrointestinal tract upset

Mild gastrointestinal disturbances
Bloating
Diarrhea
Prolonged treatment with high doses may promote the formation of calculi in the urinary tract

Epidemiological studies with oral calcium have shown no increase in the teratogenic hazard to the fetus
Supplemental calcium may be excreted in breast milk, the concentration is unlikely to be sufficient to produce any adverse effect on the neonate
Vitamin C may be taken safely during pregnancy and lactation

For patients with mild hypercalciuria, with mild or moderate impairment of renal function or with a history of urinary concrements, monitoring of calcium excretion in the urine is required
High doses of vitamin-D and derivatives should be avoided during treatment with Ostocal C unless especially indicated
Citrate salts have been reported to increase aluminium absorption, Ostocal C should be used with caution in patients with severely impaired renal function, especially those receiving aluminium-containing preparations
The sugar content should be taken into account by diabetic patients

Acute overdosage has not been reported
It would be expected to cause gastrointestinal disturbances but not to result in hypercalcemia, except in patients treated with a very high dosage of vitamin-D and derivatives
