CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE
About CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE
CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE belongs to the class of ‘Multi-minerals’ primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. It is used in the treatment of various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone) and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones). CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium.
CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE consists of three medicines, namely: Calcium carbonate (mineral), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) and lysine (Amino Acid). Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is used in the absorption of calcium in the blood. Which helps in the processing of essential minerals in the body like Calcium and Phosphorus. Lack of Vitamin D3 results in bone weakening, bone pain, and skin diseases. Lysine is a building block of essential proteins which improve appetite and digestion.
You are advised to take CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE can cause side effects like diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain. Most of these side effects of CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Call your doctor immediately if you notice little or no urinating, weight gain, high levels of calcium in the blood which can be detected by certain blood tests and the symptoms include nausea, constipation, increased thirst, muscle weakness, bone pain, confusion, or feeling tired.
If you are known to be allergic to CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE. Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE may pass into the breast milk, hence breastfeeding mothers need to seek medical advice before starting CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE. Do not take CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).
Uses of CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE
Medicinal Benefits
CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE is a combination of three drugs, namely; Calcium carbonate(mineral), Lysine (amino acid), and Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3) that is used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone) and tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Calcium carbonate is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and teeth health. Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3) treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. Lysine is a building block of essential proteins which improve appetite and digestion.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and brittle bones by decreasing bone density. As bones become less dense, they weaken and are more likely to break. Breaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis, especially with older patients. Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than are men. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
Osteomalacia/Rickets: A bone disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Adults can experience a similar condition known as osteomalacia. It causes bone pain, poor growth, and soft, weak bones that can lead to bone deformities.
Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).
Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany.
FAQs
CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE is a nutritional supplement that can be taken by people who have low levels of calcium in their blood and it keeps the bones healthy and strong and is even effective in chronic arthritis and osteoporosis.
CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence it is not advised to use CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE during hypercalcemia, since it causes the overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.
Do not use CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE if you are allergic to CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE or any other ingredients in it. CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE is not recommended in hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).
Do not stop using CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+LYSINE even if you feel better until the doctor's advised course is finished. Your symptoms may improve, but the disease may not be cured completely.
