How it works
It is combination product of Calcium (Calcium from Natural Origin) & Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol from Natural Origin). This combination medication is used to prevent or treat low blood Calcium levels in people who do not get enough Calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low Calcium levels such as bone loss (Osteoporosis), weak bones (Osteomalacia/Rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (Hypoparathyroidism) and a certain muscle disease (Latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough Calcium (e.g. women who are pregnant, nursing or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as Phenytoin, Phenobarbital or Prednisone). Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscles and bones. If there is not enough Calcium in the blood, then the body will take Calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones. Vitamin D helps body to absorb Calcium and Phosphorus. Having the right amounts of Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus is important for building and keeping strong bones.
