D-500 Cal (Calcium-Vitamin D3)

D-500 Cal Uses

D-500 Cal is used to:

• Prevent and treat calcium and Vitamin D3 deficiencies.
• Support bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, particularly in older adults and postmenopausal women.
• Improve calcium levels in individuals with dietary restrictions or medical conditions affecting calcium absorption.
• Promote muscle function and overall skeletal health.

How Does D-500 Cal Work

• Calcium: Acts as a vital building block for bones and teeth, maintaining strength and density.
• Vitamin D3: Enhances calcium absorption in the gut, supports bone remodeling, and regulates calcium levels in the blood for effective utilization.

Together, they work to maintain a healthy skeletal system and prevent complications like fractures and bone thinning.

How to Use D-500 Cal

• Take the tablet as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with or after a meal to improve absorption.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Mild stomach upset or nausea
• Constipation or bloating
• Dry mouth or increased thirst

Rare but serious side effects include:

• High calcium levels (hypercalcemia), indicated by symptoms such as weakness, confusion, or irregular heartbeat
• Severe allergic reactions, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing

Drug Interactions

D-500 Cal may interact with:

• Medications like bisphosphonates or tetracycline antibiotics, reducing their effectiveness.
• Iron supplements, as calcium may interfere with iron absorption.
• Diuretics or corticosteroids, potentially affecting calcium levels.

Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Food Interactions

• Avoid excessive intake of foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, to prevent hypercalcemia.
• Limit foods high in oxalates (spinach, rhubarb) or phytates (whole grains), as they can reduce calcium absorption.
