About IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET

IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It 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).

IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET consists of Calcium, Calcitriol, and Menaquinone. Calcium provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. Menaquinone helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.

IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET can cause side effects such as constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, a fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET.

Medicinal Benefits

  • IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET is used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body.
  • IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET consists of Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2).
  • Calcium is a mineral that helps prevent or treat calcium deficiency.
  • It helps to maintain bone and teeth health.
  • Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency, hypoparathyroidism (a condition where the parathyroid glands are inactive), and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure.
  • Menaquinone, also known as Vitamin K2, helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Calcium-regulating proteins are also required in the arteries.

How IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET Works

IDENTI CAL K2 TABLET consists of three medicines: Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Menaquinone is also known as Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Calcium-regulating proteins also require menaquinone in the arteries.

Storage
