Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3
About
Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 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 Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 consists of Calcium aspartate, Magnesium hydroxide, and Vitamin D3. Calcium aspartate prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium increases bone mineral density and aids in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. 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. Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 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, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
If you are allergic to any of the components of Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3, 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 Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3.

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.

Calcium aspartate is a mineral that prevents or treats calcium deficiency. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Magnesium hydroxide helps maintain strong bones.
Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 is used to increase low calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 if you have hypercalcaemia since it causes an overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.
Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3. Hence, taking Calcium Aspartate+magnesium Hydroxide+vitamin D3 two hours before or four hours after taking antacids is advised.
