Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium
About Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium
Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium belongs to the class of 'Dietary supplements/Vitamins', primarily used to maintain normal bones. Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels 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.
Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium consists of three medicines: Calcium (mineral), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and magnesium (mineral). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It is a provitamin that is converted into vitamin after intake. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralization. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Magnesium is a mineral that plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones by increasing bone density and also helps to prevent the onset of osteoporosis.
Take Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium as recomended. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, stomach upset, and diarrhea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, stop taking Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium and consult your physician immediately.
Avoid using Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium if allergic to it. Please tell your physician if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Brief your medical history if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance. Tell your physician if you are pregnant are breastfeeding. You will need to talk about any risks to your baby. Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium is safe to use in children if advised by the physician .

Disease/Condition Glossary
Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle or misshapen bones.
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and brittle bones by decreasing bone density.
Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).
Osteomalacia/Rickets: A disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.
Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low parathyroid hormone levels. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany (muscle cramps, spasms or tremors).
FAQs
Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium is a dietary supplement. It consists of Calcium, Cholecalciferol and magnesium. Calcium is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. Cholecalciferol, also known as Vitamin D3, helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralisation. Magnesium is a mineral that plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones by increasing bone density and also helps to prevent the onset of osteoporosis. When you don't get enough Vitamin D and minerals from food sources and sunlight exposure, Calcium+cholecalciferol+magnesium helps to balance those low levels.
