Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S

Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like hypocalcaemia, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). It also prevents muscle cramps and bone loss. Hypocalcaemia is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.

Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S consists of Calcium carbonate (mineral), Magnesium (mineral), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate prevents or treats calcium deficiency and provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium levels and mineralization of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

If you are allergic to any of the components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, and kidney stones before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S. Calsemin-M Tablet 10'S should be used in children only when advised by the doctor.

Calcium carbonate is used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. It also increases bone mineral density and maintains joint and bone health. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. It aids in calcium absorption enabling bone growth and repair. It further prevents cartilage degeneration.
