About Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide
Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide 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. Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide may be used in the management of hypocalcaemia in patients undergoing dialysis, post-menopausal osteoporosis, low calcium levels in hypoparathyroidism, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, renal tubular osteocalcaemia, vitamin D dependant rickets, hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia.
Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide is a combination of four supplements, namely: Calcium carbonate, cholecalciferol, magnesium hydroxide and zinc. Calcium carbonate makes the bones stronger by increasing their density. It helps in treating and preventing low calcium levels. Cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D which helps in the absorption of calcium. Magnesium hydroxide aids in the absorption of calcium by converting vitamin D into its active form. Zinc is necessary for bone-building cells, normal growth, and tissue repair. Together, Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide helps in strengthening of bones.
You are advised to take Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as stomach upset, constipation, muscle weakness, nausea, and vomiting.

Uses of Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide
Medicinal Benefits
Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide is a combination of four supplements, namely: Calcium carbonate, cholecalciferol, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc. Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide may be used in the management of hypocalcaemia in patients undergoing dialysis, post-menopausal osteoporosis, low calcium levels in hypoparathyroidism, osteomalacia, osteoporosis in males, renal tubular osteocalcaemia, hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia. Calcium carbonate makes the bones stronger by increasing their density. It helps in treating and preventing low calcium levels. Cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D which helps in the absorption of calcium. Magnesium hydroxide 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. It also helps improve vitamin D response and helps arrest bone loss in post-menopausal women. Together, Calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol+zinc+magnesium Hydroxide helps in strengthening of bones.
