Description

Calcitas D3 60K Capsule contains cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), commonly used to treat or prevent vitamin D deficiency. It plays a crucial role in improving calcium and phosphorus absorption in the body, essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. This supplement is often prescribed in conditions like osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, and hypoparathyroidism. It may also be used during pregnancy, lactation, or in individuals with limited sun exposure to maintain adequate vitamin D levels.

The typical dosage is once weekly or as directed by a physician, depending on the severity of the deficiency. It helps improve bone health, immunity, and muscle strength, particularly in elderly patients or those at risk of fractures.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, or loss of appetite. Excessive intake can lead to hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), causing weakness, fatigue, frequent urination, kidney stones, or confusion. Rarely, allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling may occur.

To avoid complications, it’s important to take the supplement under medical supervision, especially if you have kidney disorders, heart disease, or are on other medications affecting calcium or vitamin D levels.
