Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol
About Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol
Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like hypocalcaemia, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). It also prevents muscle cramps and bone loss. Hypocalcaemia is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.
Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol consists of Calcium carbonate (mineral), Magnesium (mineral), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate prevents or treats calcium deficiency and provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium levels and mineralization of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.
Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
If you are allergic to any of the components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, and kidney stones before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol. Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol should be used in children only when advised by the doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypocalcaemia: It is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.
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 makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density.
Osteomalacia/Rickets: It is a disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.
FAQs
Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol is a dietary supplement that treats low calcium levels in the blood. It consists of Calcium carbonate, Magnesium, and Cholecalciferol. Calcium is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium levels and mineralization of bone. Magnesium helps in the healthy functioning of nerves, muscles and maintains strong bones.
Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol is used to increase low calcium levels (hypocalcaemia) in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol during hypercalcaemia since it causes the overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.
Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol. Hence, taking Magnesium+calcium Carbonate+cholecalciferol two hours before or four hours after taking antacids is advised.
You are recommended to let your doctor know if you suffer from hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the body), allergic reactions, alcohol dependence, heart-related disorders, hepatic and renal impairment before starting this medicine.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.
