About Cipcal CT Tablet 15's

Cipcal CT Tablet 15's 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). 

Cipcal CT Tablet 15's consists of calcium and calcitriol (vitamin D). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency.
