Satecal Tab belongs to the group of medicines called nutritional supplements used to treat nutritional deficiency. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb/get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases.

Satecal Tab contains Calcium citrate, cholecalciferol, magnesium and zinc. Calcium citrate makes the bones stronger by increasing their density. Cholecalciferol helps in the absorption of calcium. Magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium by converting vitamin D into its active form. Zinc is necessary for bone-building cells and inhibits the formation of cells that cause the breakdown of bones. Together, Satecal Tab helps in strengthening of bones.
