What is Cal D3?
Cal D3 is a therapeutic calcium and vitamin D3 supplement formulated to support bone health and treat deficiencies. Manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceuticals and registered with NAFDAC (Reg No. 04-5497), it combines Calcium Carbonate (1250mg) with Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol, 250 IU) to ensure optimal mineral absorption.
Each pack contains 30 film-coated tablets, providing a convenient one-month supply for individuals requiring nutritional support for bone strength, osteoporosis management, or prenatal care.
Cal D3 Tablet Uses
Cal D3 is primarily used to prevent and treat calcium and vitamin D3 deficiencies. It is frequently recommended for:
- Bone Health: Supporting the treatment of osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets.
- Pregnancy & Lactation: Providing essential minerals for fetal skeletal development and maintaining maternal bone density.
- Elderly Care: Reducing the risk of fractures and supporting mobility in older adults.
- General Deficiency: Addressing low calcium levels due to diet or absorption issues.
Benefits of Calcium and Vitamin D3
Calcium is the primary building block of bones, while Vitamin D3 acts as a key that "unlocks" the body's ability to absorb it. Without enough Vitamin D3, your body cannot use the calcium you consume, leading to weaker bones over time. Cal D3 provides this essential combination in a single daily tablet.
Dosage for Adults
The standard Cal D3 tablet dosage for adults is one tablet daily, preferably taken with food to enhance absorption. However, always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist, as your requirements may vary based on your health status.
Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects such as constipation, bloating, or stomach upset. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have concerns about a "burning" sensation (rare for oral tablets), please contact a healthcare professional.

- Pregnancy: Cal D3 is commonly used during pregnancy, but you should consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
- Kidney Stones: If you have a history of kidney stones or severe kidney disease, speak with a pharmacist before use.
