Calcium Orotate+magnesium Hydroxide+cholecalciferol
About
Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in the body like osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). It also prevents muscle cramps and bone loss.
Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide consists of Calcium orotate (mineral), Magnesium hydroxide, and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium orotate prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients required for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium hydroxide increases bone mineral density and maintains joint and bone health. Magnesium also aids in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the 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. Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like diarrhoea, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
If you are allergic to Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide or its inactive 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 Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide. Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide should be used in children only when advised by the doctor. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption since it may affect calcium absorption.
Uses of Calcium Orotate+magnesium Hydroxide+cholecalciferol
Medicinal Benefits
Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It consists of Calcium orotate, Magnesium hydroxide, and Cholecalciferol. Calcium orotate is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients required for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium hydroxide reduces symptoms of excess acid like heartburn, upset stomach, or indigestion. It also helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. It 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.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypocalcaemia: It 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. Symptoms include muscle cramps, confusion and tingling in the lips and fingers.
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. Symptoms include loss of height, easily fractured bones, and lower back pain.
Osteomalacia/Rickets: It is a disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Symptoms include bone and joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, muscle cramps, and bones that break easily.
FAQs
Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide is a dietary supplement that treats low calcium levels in the blood. It consists of Calcium orotate, Magnesium hydroxide, and Cholecalciferol. Calcium orotate is a mineral that prevents or treats calcium deficiency. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Magnesium hydroxide helps in the healthy functioning of nerves and muscles and maintains strong bones.
Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide is used to increase low calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide during hypercalcaemia since it causes an overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.
Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide. Hence, taking Calcium Orotate+cholecalciferol+magnesium Hydroxide two hours before or four hours after taking antacids is advised.
You are recommended to let your doctor know if you suffer from hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the body), allergic reactions, alcohol dependence, heart-related disorders, and hepatic and renal impairment before starting this medicine.
