CAL D3 Tablets

Product Overview

CAL D3 is a dietary supplement specifically formulated to support bone health and maintain optimal calcium levels in the body. It contains a combination of Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is essential for the effective absorption of calcium, making this supplement a powerful tool for preventing and treating calcium deficiencies.

Uses and Benefits

CAL D3 tablets are used for:

• Bone Health Maintenance: Promotes the development of strong bones and healthy teeth.
• Osteoporosis Prevention: Helps reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures, especially in older adults.
• Treating Calcium Deficiency: Corrects low calcium levels due to poor diet, limited sunlight, or medical conditions.
• Pregnancy & Lactation: Often recommended as a supplement to support both mother and baby's bone development.

How CAL D3 Works

The "work of" CAL D3 lies in its two active components. Calcium provides the building blocks for bone tissue, while Vitamin D3 acts as a regulator that allows your body to absorb that calcium from the gut. Without enough Vitamin D3, even a high-calcium diet may not be enough to keep bones strong.

Dosage and Administration for Adults

• Adult Dosage: Typically, one tablet is taken once or twice daily.
• How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. For best results, take it with a meal to enhance absorption.
• Caution: Avoid taking CAL D3 at the same time as iron supplements, as calcium can interfere with iron absorption. Space them at least 2 hours apart.

Possible Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, some people may experience:

• Constipation or stomach upset.
• Nausea or vomiting (if taken in excess).

If you notice signs of too much calcium (hypercalcemia), such as extreme thirst, frequent urination, or muscle weakness, contact your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist immediately.

Safety in Pregnancy

CAL D3 is commonly used by pregnant women in Nigeria to support fetal bone growth. However, always consult your healthcare provider or a pharmacist to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Keep out of the reach of children.

Note: Always use CAL D3 as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
