Sometimes, it may cause mild side effects such as constipation and stomach upset.

About Bb 24 Syrup

Bb 24 Syrup is used to treat children with low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands produce 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 a lack of calcium).

Bb 24 Syrup consists of two medicines, namely: Calcium carbonate (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients vital for bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is used in the absorption of calcium in the blood, which helps in the processing of essential minerals in the body like Calcium and Phosphorus.

Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully when giving Bb 24 Syrup to your child. Continue giving Bb 24 Syrup for as long as it has been suggested, depending on your child's medical condition. Bb 24 Syrup is generally safe, but it may cause mild side effects, such as constipation and stomach upset, in some children. These side effects will resolve over time without requiring medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if your child is allergic to Bb 24 Syrup or any of its ingredients. Always inform your doctor about all the medications your child is currently taking, including suggested, over-the-counter, and herbal products, before starting Bb 24 Syrup . Do not give higher doses of Bb 24 Syrup unless advised by the doctor, as it may lead to serious side effects. Let the doctor know if your child has existing medical conditions such as hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (excess vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food).

Uses of Bb 24 Syrup

Bb 24 Syrup is used in the treatment of Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia (Rickets), Vitamin D deficiency, Hypoparathyroidism, and Latent tetany. The detailed uses of Bb 24 Syrup are as follows:<br/>• Treats calcium deficiency: Bb 24 Syrup helps prevent and manage osteoporosis, osteomalacia (soft bones), and rickets.<br/>• Supports parathyroid function: Bb 24 Syrup is used in conditions like hypoparathyroidism, where calcium regulation is impaired.<br/>• Aids muscle health: Bb 24 Syrup helps prevent latent tetany, a muscle disorder caused by low calcium levels.<br/>• Boosts calcium absorption: Bb 24 Syrup enhances calcium uptake from the intestines, ensuring proper utilization in the body.<br/>

Directions for Use

• Bb 24 Syrup can be given with or without food as advised by your doctor.• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.• Administer the advised dose to the child using the measuring cup/measuring spoon/dropper.• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients vital for bone formation and maintenance.

How Bb 24 Syrup Works

Bb 24 Syrup consists of two medicines: calcium carbonate (a mineral) and Cholecalciferol (a Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients vital for bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol (a Vitamin D3) is used to absorb calcium in the blood. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralisation. It is also used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.

Storage

Bb 24 Syrup is not recommended if your child has hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Inform your doctor if your child has conditions such as kidney stones, Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, phosphate imbalance, and heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, before starting treatment with Bb 24 Syrup .

  • You can also offer them snacks with calcium-rich nuts, such as Brazil nuts or almonds.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over their meals, vegetables, or salads, as these are high in calcium.
  • Try to avoid caffeine and soft drinks, as they can interfere with calcium absorption.

If your child suffers from hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), it is not recommended to administer Bb 24 Syrup . This medication is intended to increase calcium levels in the body, and using it during hypercalcemia could lead to an overdose of calcium, which may result in kidney stones and other complications.

Please avoid giving your child Bb 24 Syrup if they are allergic to any of its ingredients. Additionally, do not give Bb 24 Syrup if your child has hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), or malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).
