About Calci-CZ Capsule

Calci-CZ Capsule belongs to the class of 'vitamins,' primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (a condition in which parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). 

Calci-CZ Capsule consists of calcium and calcitriol (vitamin D). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a synthetic form of vitamin D that helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone.

Calci-CZ Capsule is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicine, or herbal products before starting Calci-CZ Capsule . Please inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance before starting Calci-CZ Capsule . If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Calci-CZ Capsule .
