About Jocal-C Capsule

Jocal-C Capsule belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Jocal-C Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium).

Jocal-C Capsule consists of Calcium citrate malate, Elemental Magnesium, Elemental Zinc, and Vitamin D3. Calcium citrate malate provides essential nutrients required for bone formation and maintenance. Elemental Magnesium helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves and maintains bone mineral density. Elemental Zinc promotes the growth and development of body tissues. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. 

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Jocal-C Capsule is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

FAQs

Jocal-C Capsule is a dietary supplement that treats nutritional deficiencies. It consists of Calcium citrate malate, Elemental Magnesium, Vitamin D3, and Elemental Zinc. It works by replenishing low calcium, magnesium, and zinc levels, maintaining bone density, and promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.

Jocal-C Capsule is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Jocal-C Capsule if you have hypercalcaemia since it causes an overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.

Zinc may decrease the absorption of antibiotics, thereby reducing their effectiveness. It is advised to maintain at least an hour gap between Jocal-C Capsule and antibiotics.

Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Jocal-C Capsule . Hence, taking Jocal-C Capsule two hours before or four hours after taking antacids is advised.
