About Sancoral Softgel Capsule

Sancoral Softgel Capsule belongs to the class of 'Vitamins,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Sancoral Softgel Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, like Vitamin D deficiency. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).

Sancoral Softgel Capsule consists of elemental calcium and vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Elemental calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone.

Take Sancoral Softgel Capsule as recommended. Sancoral Softgel Capsule is likely safe to consume. Sometimes, it may cause side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Do not take Sancoral Softgel Capsule if you're allergic to any ingredient in it. 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 Sancoral Softgel Capsule . Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Sancoral Softgel Capsule . Do not use Sancoral Softgel Capsule if you have kidney problems/stones or have a high Vitamin D level in your blood. Sancoral Softgel Capsule is safe for children only when recommended by the doctor.
