Medicinal Benefits:
Shelcal-K Tablet is used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hypoparathyroidism, and tetany. It consists of Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Calcium is a mineral that prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and tooth health. Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the decreased activity of the parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure by improving the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Together, Shelcal-K Tablet helps improve bone strength and treats associated nutritional deficiencies.
