Osteocare Liquid 200ml Syrup

Calcium, Zinc, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and Magnesium work synergistically in this syrup/suspension formulation. Calcium and Magnesium are essential minerals for maintaining bone health, with Calcium playing a vital role in bone structure and Magnesium contributing to bone formation and mineralization. Zinc supports overall immune function and aids in the proper utilization of Calcium. Cholecalciferol, a form of Vitamin D3, is crucial for Calcium absorption in the gut and maintaining adequate serum Calcium levels. Vitamin D3 promotes Calcium absorption by enhancing the production of Calcium-binding proteins, thus facilitating Calcium transport and utilization in the body. This combination helps ensure proper Calcium metabolism, supports bone mineralization, and contributes to overall bone health and immune function.

Following are the drug interactions for Calcium, Zinc, Cholecalciferol, and Magnesium Syrup/Suspension:

• Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may decrease the absorption of calcium and other minerals, leading to reduced effectiveness.
• Calcium can reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, so it's best to separate the doses by 2-4 hours.
• Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) may interact with certain medications like corticosteroids, anti-seizure drugs, and cholesterol-lowering agents, affecting vitamin D metabolism.
• Zinc can decrease the absorption of antibiotics like quinolones and tetracyclines, so timing of doses should be managed.
• Magnesium-containing antacids may enhance the absorption of magnesium in this suspension, possibly leading to hypermagnesemia in susceptible individuals.
• Thiazide diuretics can increase calcium levels, so monitoring is necessary to prevent excessive calcium concentrations.
• Calcium and magnesium can potentially interact with bisphosphonates, reducing their effectiveness.

Following are the food interactions for Calcium, Zinc, Cholecalciferol, and Magnesium Syrup/Suspension:

• Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese are rich in calcium and can be beneficial when taking this supplement, as they enhance calcium absorption.
• Foods high in oxalic acid, such as spinach and rhubarb, may interfere with calcium absorption and should be consumed in moderation.
• Zinc absorption can be hindered by phytates found in whole grains and legumes, so consider separating their consumption.
• Vitamin D-fortified foods like cereals and dairy products can enhance Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) absorption.
• Magnesium levels can be affected by foods rich in oxalic acid, like spinach and sweet potatoes, which may reduce absorption.
