Description

Uses:
Cipcal 500, manufactured by Cipla, contains Calcium Carbonate (500 mg) and is primarily used to treat or prevent calcium deficiency. It plays a vital role in maintaining healthy bones and teeth, and is often prescribed for conditions like osteoporosis, osteopenia, or hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels). It is commonly used in pregnant and lactating women, postmenopausal women, and elderly individuals to ensure adequate calcium levels. Cipcal 500 also supports muscle function, nerve transmission, and heart health, making it beneficial in overall calcium-related metabolic processes.

Side Effects:
Cipcal 500 is generally well tolerated when taken as directed. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as:

• Constipation

• Bloating or gas

• Nausea or upset stomach

In rare cases, high doses or prolonged use may cause hypercalcemia (excess calcium in blood), with symptoms like fatigue, confusion, increased thirst, or kidney stones. Allergic reactions are uncommon but can include rash, itching, or swelling.
