BoneCare 300ml Liquid Syrup

Calcium liquid, often containing calcium in an easily absorbable form like calcium citrate or calcium lactate, primarily acts as a supplement to support and maintain calcium levels in the body. Its mechanism of action revolves around replenishing calcium stores and promoting bone health. When ingested, calcium ions are released and absorbed in the digestive tract, primarily in the small intestine. These ions then enter the bloodstream, where they contribute to various physiological processes. Calcium is essential for proper bone mineralization, and it plays a crucial role in bone growth, development, and maintenance by promoting the deposition of calcium and phosphate ions in the bone matrix. Additionally, calcium ions are involved in numerous cellular functions, including muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and enzyme activity, ensuring the proper functioning of these vital physiological processes.

• Used for supporting proper muscle function, including heart muscle contractions.
• Used for aiding in nerve signaling and neurotransmitter release.
• Used for assisting in blood clotting mechanisms, ensuring proper wound healing.
• Used for maintaining dental health, as calcium is essential for strong teeth.
• Used for alleviating symptoms of calcium-related muscle cramps and spasms.
• Used for enhancing the absorption of other minerals, such as magnesium and phosphorus.

In the case of an overdose of Calcium Liquid, the individual may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and in severe cases, irregular heartbeat and confusion. If an overdose is suspected, it is important to seek medical advice promptly. Treatment may involve managing symptoms and ensuring proper hydration. Prompt action can help mitigate potential health risks associated with excessive calcium intake.

In the case of a missed dose of Calcium Liquid, it is generally recommended to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, it is best to skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one, as this may increase the risk of side effects. If you miss multiple doses, consult your healthcare provider for advice on how to get back on track with your calcium supplementation regimen.

To administer Calcium Liquid, measure the prescribed dose using an oral syringe or measuring cup, then take it orally as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily, either with or without food.

Here are the conditions and situations when Calcium Liquid should not be taken:

• Avoid if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to calcium, vitamin D, or any other ingredients in the liquid formulation.
• Do not use if you have high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia) or high vitamin D levels.
• Contraindicated in individuals with kidney stones or a history of kidney disease.
• Not recommended for patients with sarcoidosis, as it can increase calcium levels.
• Avoid using if you have a condition called hyperparathyroidism.
• Should not be taken if you are bedridden or unable to move around freely, as this can increase the risk of high calcium levels.
• Do not use if you have a condition causing abnormal calcium metabolism.
• Contraindicated in individuals with a history of kidney failure or impaired kidney function.

The side effects of Calcium Liquid may include:

• Constipation
• Nausea and vomiting
• Dry mouth or increased thirst
• Stomach pain or discomfort
• Tiredness or fatigue
• Muscle or bone pain
• Frequent urination
• Allergic reactions (such as rashes, itching, or swelling)

Following are the precautions and warnings:

• Cacium Liquid should not be used by individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to calcium or any other ingredients in the liquid formulation.
• Patients with kidney stones or a history of kidney problems should exercise caution and consult a healthcare professional before use, as calcium supplementation may affect kidney function.
• This liquid may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation, bloating, or gas, especially when taken in large doses or on an empty stomach.
• Patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders or those taking medications affecting the digestive system should use it with caution and under medical supervision.
• It may interact with certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and thyroid medications. Separate the timing of these medications to minimize potential interactions.
• Individuals with a history of hypercalcemia or conditions like hyperparathyroidism should use calcium supplements with close medical supervision to monitor calcium levels.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Cacium Liquid to ensure it is safe and appropriate for their specific circumstances.
• Patients who experience any adverse reactions or unusual symptoms after taking this liquid should discontinue use and seek medical advice immediately.

Following are the drug interactions for Calcium Liquid:

• Thiazide diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide may decrease calcium excretion, leading to potential hypercalcemia when used with calcium supplements.
• Bisphosphonates, used for osteoporosis, may have reduced absorption when taken with calcium, so separate dosing is recommended.
• Calcium can decrease the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, so separate dosing by 2-3 hours is advised.
• Calcium can interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine, a thyroid medication, so these should be taken at different times.
• Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin may decrease calcium absorption, potentially affecting bone health with long-term use.
• Calcium can bind to certain phosphate binders, like sevelamer, reducing their effectiveness.
• Corticosteroids such as prednisone can cause calcium depletion, and concurrent use with calcium supplements should be monitored to ensure adequate calcium levels.

Following are the food interactions to consider with Calcium Liquid:

• Calcium-rich foods like dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt), leafy greens, and fortified foods can be consumed alongside Calcium Liquid, but excessive intake may lead to potential hypercalcemia.
• Phosphorus-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and whole grains can help maintain a healthy calcium-phosphorus balance in the body.
• Vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products enhance calcium absorption, ensuring its effectiveness.
• High-fiber foods may interfere with calcium absorption, so it's best to take Calcium Liquid between meals or with a low-fiber snack.
• Caffeine-rich beverages like coffee and tea may decrease calcium absorption, so limit consumption with Calcium Liquid.
• Avoid excessive intake of oxalate-rich foods like spinach, rhubarb, and sweet potatoes, as they can bind with calcium and reduce its absorption.
• Sodium-rich processed foods may increase calcium excretion, so a balanced diet is recommended.
• Maintain a well-rounded diet to ensure the effectiveness of Calcium Liquid, as it relies on various nutrients for optimal absorption and utilization.

The storage and disposal of Calcium Liquid require careful attention to maintain its integrity and ensure safety. Store the liquid in a cool, dry place, preferably at room temperature, ensuring it remains away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination and maintain its effectiveness. Avoid extreme temperatures by not placing it near heat sources like stoves or radiators, as this can impact the liquid's stability. Always check the expiration date, and if the liquid has expired or is no longer needed, do not dispose of it by flushing or pouring it down the drain. Consult a pharmacist or healthcare professional for guidance on appropriate disposal methods. Keep the liquid securely stored away from children to prevent accidental consumption.
