CALXOLE TABLET

(PACKING – 15 TABS IN STRIP & 15X10 IN BOX)

PRODUCT DETAILS -

CALXOLE Tablet 15's belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. CALXOLE Tablet 15's effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused due to inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption, or lack of sunlight exposure.

The CALXOLE Tablet 15's consists of two medicines: Calcium (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It is a provitamin that is converted into vitamin after intake. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralisation. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.

Key benefits/uses of CALXOLE Tablet:

1. To treat calcium deficiency due to:

  • Inadequate dietary intake
  • Hypoparathyroidism (reduced production of parathyroid hormones which regulate the levels of calcium and phosphorous in the body)
  • Kidney failure
  • Pancreatitis (Inflammation of the pancreas)
  • Certain medicines such as corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, and rifampicin
  • Liver disease, causing low albumin levels which might affect calcium levels

2. To treat Vitamin D3 deficiency due to:

  • Decreased function of the kidneys
  • Inadequate absorption of Vitamin D3 by the digestive tract (due to conditions like Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and cystic fibrosis)

3. To increase the levels of Vitamin D3 in the milk of breastfeeding women. 
Vitamin D3 requirements of breastfed infants cannot be met by human milk alone. Hence, mothers are advised for supplementation of Vitamin D3.

4. To increase Vitamin D3 levels in elderly people 
because due to age and a long time spent indoors, their skin fails to synthesize Vitamin D3 efficiently.

5. To improve levels of Vitamin D3 in people with fat malabsorption 
whose intestine fails to absorb fat from the diet, thereby reducing the absorption of Vitamin D3 which needs dietary fat to get used by the body.
