About Calmat-K2 Tablet

Calmat-K2 Tablet belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Calmat-K2 Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Calmat-K2 Tablet consists of three medicines, namely: Elemental Calcium (mineral), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Elemental Calcium is a mineral that prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. It raises the Vitamin D levels and thereby improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. 

Your doctor will decide the duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Calmat-K2 Tablet can cause side effects like constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, tiredness, and headache. Most of these side effects of Calmat-K2 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor. 

Inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, or kidney stones before starting Calmat-K2 Tablet . Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calmat-K2 Tablet . Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence it is advised to limit alcohol intake while using Calmat-K2 Tablet . Children should be given this supplement only when advised by the doctor.
