Nutrifactor Bonex-D 30 Tablets

Calcium and Cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) tablets are commonly used as a supplement to support bone health. Calcium is an essential mineral for strong bones and teeth, while Cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) plays a crucial role in calcium absorption in the body. This combination is often prescribed or used as a preventive measure for people with calcium or vitamin D deficiencies, osteoporosis, or other bone-related conditions.

Calcium, Cholecalciferol

Mineral supplement, Fat-soluble vitamin (vitamin D₃).

Tablet

Uses of Calcium and Cholecalciferol Tablet:

• Prevention and treatment of calcium and vitamin D deficiency.
• Support for healthy bone development and maintenance.
• Management of osteoporosis and reduction of fracture risk.
• Support for proper muscle function and nerve transmission.
• Adjunctive therapy in conditions like rickets and osteomalacia.
• Supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding to meet increased calcium and vitamin D requirements.
• Support for bone health in postmenopausal women.

Dose of Calcium and Cholecalciferol Tablets according to Indication:

• For calcium deficiency, the dose is 500-1000 mg of calcium combined with 400-1000 IU of vitamin D₃ daily.
• For osteoporosis, the dose is 1000 mg of calcium combined with 1000 IU of vitamin D₃ daily.
• For hypocalcemia, the dose is 1000-2000 mg of calcium combined with 1000-2000 IU of vitamin D₃ daily, depending on the severity of the deficiency.
• For bone health maintenance, the dose is typically 500-1000 mg of calcium combined with 400-1000 IU of vitamin D₃ daily.
• For vitamin D deficiency, the dose is 1000-4000 IU of vitamin D₃ combined with appropriate amounts of calcium, as prescribed by the healthcare provider.

In the event of an overdose of calcium and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent serious complications. Overdose can lead to hypercalcemia, characterized by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, frequent urination, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, confusion, and in severe cases, kidney damage or cardiac arrhythmias. Treatment typically involves discontinuing calcium and cholecalciferol supplements and restricting dietary calcium. Hydration with intravenous fluids may be administered to promote calcium excretion, and medications such as corticosteroids or bisphosphonates may be used to lower calcium levels. Close monitoring of serum calcium and kidney function is essential throughout the recovery process. Patients should also avoid self-medicating with high doses of supplements in the future and consult a healthcare provider for appropriate dosing.

If you miss a dose of calcium and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one, as this can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or elevated calcium levels in the blood. To help prevent missed doses, consider setting a reminder or incorporating the supplement into your daily routine, such as taking it with a specific meal. If you are unsure about what to do or have missed multiple doses, consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

These supplements are often recommended for individuals with calcium or vitamin D deficiencies, osteoporosis, or those at risk of bone fractures. It is important to take them as directed by a healthcare provider, usually with food to enhance absorption. Adequate hydration and maintaining a balanced diet rich in other nutrients, such as magnesium and phosphorus, can further support their effectiveness. Overuse or improper intake of these supplements can lead to side effects like hypercalcemia, so regular monitoring is advisable.

Please take a few things into consideration while using Calcium and Cholecalciferol:

• If you are allergic to calcium, cholecalciferol, or any of the ingredients in the supplement.
• If you have high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia) or urine (hypercalciuria).
• If you have vitamin D toxicity or any condition that causes excessive vitamin D in the body.
• If you have severe kidney problems, kidney stones, or a history of calcium-based kidney stones.
• If you are taking other medications or supplements that contain calcium or vitamin D, as this may lead to excessive intake.
• If you have malabsorption syndromes, which can affect the absorption of nutrients, unless prescribed by your doctor.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use.
• If you are on medications that may interact with this supplement, such as diuretics or certain heart medications.

Please take a few things into consideration while taking Calcium and Cholecalciferol:

• If you are allergic to calcium, cholecalciferol, or any of the ingredients in the supplement.
• If you have a history of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood) or hypercalciuria (high calcium levels in the urine).
• If you have kidney disease, including kidney stones or severe renal impairment.
• If you have a condition like vitamin D toxicity or malabsorption syndrome, which affects nutrient absorption.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless prescribed by your healthcare provider, as excess calcium or vitamin D may pose risks.
• If you are taking other medications or supplements containing calcium or vitamin D, as this may lead to an overdose.
• If you have conditions such as sarcoidosis or other granulomatous diseases that can increase calcium levels.
• If you are on medications like digoxin or diuretics, which may interact with calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Regarding drug interactions while taking Calcium and Cholecalciferol medicine:

• If you are taking bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate), as calcium may reduce their absorption.
• If you are using antibiotics like tetracyclines or quinolones, as calcium can interfere with their effectiveness.
• If you are on antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, as prolonged use with calcium can affect absorption.
• If you are taking thyroid hormone replacements (e.g., levothyroxine), as calcium may decrease their absorption.
• If you are using digoxin or other cardiac glycosides, as high calcium levels can increase the risk of side effects.
• If you are on diuretics like thiazides, which can raise calcium levels in the blood.
• If you are taking corticosteroids, as they may reduce calcium absorption and increase bone loss.
• If you are on medications like orlistat or cholestyramine, which can reduce the absorption of vitamin D.

Food interactions while taking Calcium and Cholecalciferol medicine are:

• Avoid consuming high amounts of oxalate-rich foods (e.g., spinach, rhubarb, and beet greens) as they can reduce calcium absorption.
• Limit intake of high-phosphate foods, such as processed meats and sodas, as they may interfere with calcium utilization.
• Avoid taking the medicine alongside high-fiber foods, as fiber can bind to calcium and reduce its absorption.
• Do not consume large quantities of caffeine or alcohol, as they can decrease calcium absorption and bone density.
• Take the medicine with meals to enhance calcium and vitamin D absorption, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• Avoid taking it with foods containing high levels of phytates (e.g., whole grains, nuts, and seeds) immediately, as they can inhibit calcium absorption.
