Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone
About
Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone is a combination medicine primarily used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body. Post-menopausal osteoporosis is a condition that develops during the menopause stage, which makes the bones weak and brittle.
Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone consists of Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), Calcium carbonate (mineral), Isoflavone, Magnesium oxide, and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2). Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that raises Vitamin D levels and increases calcium levels in the blood. Calcium carbonate is a mineral that provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Isoflavone is a soy phytoestrogen or dietary estrogen that treats menopause symptoms and prevents bone loss. Magnesium oxide is a mineral that maintains the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Menaquinone/Vitamin K2 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.
Use Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. In some cases, Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone can cause side effects like constipation or stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects of Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) before starting Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone. Brief your medical history if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone. Please drive or operate machinery with caution if you experience any symptoms that affect your driving ability. Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence it is advised to limit the alcohol intake while using Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone.

Safety Advice
Alcohol
cautionDrinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence it is advised to limit the alcohol intake while using Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone.
Pregnancy
cautionDuring pregnancy, use higher doses of Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone than the daily dietary allowance only when the doctor advises. Your doctor will weigh the potential risks and benefits before recommending Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone.
Breast Feeding
cautionConsult your doctor before taking Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone if you are breastfeeding. Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone may pass into the breast milk. If Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone is used during breastfeeding, please monitor the serum calcium levels of the mother and the infant.
Driving
cautionIf you experience any symptoms that alter your mental ability and focus, please do not drive or operate machinery.
Liver
cautionLet your doctor know if you have any history of liver diseases before taking Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone. Hepatic impairment/liver disease can alter the metabolic and therapeutic activity of certain Vitamin D forms.
Kidney
cautionIt is advised to seek doctor advice before starting Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone if you have kidney diseases like kidney stones or undergoing dialysis. Calcitriol in Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone increases inorganic phosphate levels in serum; hence caution should be taken in patients undergoing dialysis to maintain adequate phosphorus levels and avoid ectopic calcification (calcium deposition).
Children
cautionUse Calcitriol+calcium Carbonate+isoflavone+magnesium Oxide+menaquinone for children only if the doctor has recommended it for your child.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Post-menopausal osteoporosis is a condition that develops during the menopause stage, which makes the bones weak and brittle.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. It is a silent disease since it is not revealed until a bone is broken easily or fractured. Osteoporosis can be triggered by many factors like age, sex, low calcium diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions like gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture. Thinning of bones can be prevented by treating with medications, calcium supplements, a calcium-rich diet, and lifestyle changes.
