Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml

Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml belongs to the class of 'vitamins,' primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (a condition in which 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). 

Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml consists of calcium and calcitriol (vitamin D). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a synthetic form of vitamin D that helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone.

Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicine, or herbal products before starting Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml. Please inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance before starting Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml.

Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, latent tetany, and rickets or osteomalacia. Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml consists of two medicines: Calcium (mineral) and Calcitriol (Vitamin D). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone.

If you are allergic to Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.

Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml is not recommended if you have 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 before taking Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance. Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml may contain sugar or sorbitol; hence caution should be taken in case of intolerance to sugars, diabetes, and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine).

Drug-Drug Interactions: Bio D3 Plus Suspension 120 ml may interact with drugs treating high cholesterol levels (cholestyramine, colesevelam, colestipol), antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, penicillin, neomycin, and chloramphenicol), anti-cancer drugs (estramustine), drugs treating bone loss (alendronate sodium), hormone (levothyroxine), weight-loss drugs (orlistat), fits medicines (phenobarbital), mineral oils (paraffin), water pills (furosemide, ethacrynic acid), and heart-related medicines (digitoxin).

Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid or reduce caffeine intake, soft drinks, and alcohol, as they might inhibit calcium absorption.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Brief your doctor if your children have a medical history of allergic reactions, cardiovascular adverse effects, phosphate calcifications, cardiac contraction/conduction, malabsorption, renal dysfunction, sarcoidosis, arrhythmia, electrolyte imbalance, hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, and hepatobiliary dysfunction.

Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle, or misshapen bones.

Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens brittle bones by decreasing bone density. 

Tetany: It is a disease condition caused due to low calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).

Osteomalacia/Rickets: A disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.

Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low parathyroid hormone levels. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany (muscle cramps, spasms, or tremors).
