About Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap

Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap belongs to a group of medicines called 'vitamin D metabolites' primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. Additionally, Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney disease, surgery, or other conditions.

Calneo 0.25 Softgel Cap contains Calcitriol (Vitamin D3); it is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It is an essential nutrient to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid gland's decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine.
