Prescription RequiredAbout CAL4U SACHET 1GM
CAL4U SACHET 1GM belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. CAL4U SACHET 1GM effectively treats various conditions 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.
CAL4U SACHET 1GM contains 'Cholecalciferol' a form of vitamin-D. It acts by promoting the absorption of calcium, phosphates and Vitamin A from different organs and helps in maintaining overall health.
Take CAL4U SACHET 1GM as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. CAL4U SACHET 1GM is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, increased blood calcium levels, increased calcium levels in urine, vomiting, nausea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your physician immediately.
Tell your physician if you are allergic to CAL4U SACHET 1GM. Chewable or dissolving tablets may contain sugar or aspartame, hence caution should be taken in diabetes and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their physician before taking CAL4U SACHET 1GM. Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor.

CAL4U SACHET 1GM is safe to use in children when recommended by the pediatrician. CAL4U SACHET 1GM should be used with caution in hypercalcemia, renal impairment, heart diseases, kidney stones and hypervitaminosis D (having too much vitamin D).
