Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin
About
Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).
Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin consists of three medicines: Calcium phosphate, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and Cyanocobalamin. Calcium phosphate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and red blood cells.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like diarrhoea, constipation, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
Let your doctor know if you are using suggested, non-suggested drugs, and herbal products before starting Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin. Please inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance before starting Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin. Calcium Phosphate+cholecalciferol+cyanocobalamin is safe to use in children only when suggested by the doctor.
