CALCHOLE TABLET

[VITAMIN D ANALOGS]

CALCHOLE TABLET belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. CALCHOLE TABLET effectively treats various conditions in the body like Vitamin D 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). Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused due to inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption or lack of sunlight exposure.

CALCHOLE TABLET contains 'Cholecalciferol' a form of vitamin-D. It acts by promoting the absorption of calcium, phosphates and Vitamin A from different organs and helps in maintaining overall health.

Take CALCHOLE TABLET as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. CALCHOLE TABLET is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, increased blood calcium levels, increased calcium levels in urine, vomiting, nausea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your physician immediately.
