Calsemin Tablet consists of two vitamins: elemental calcium and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Elemental calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 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 the mineralization of bone.
Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Calsemin Tablet . Hence, it is advised to take Calsemin Tablet two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.
Calsemin Tablet is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence, it is not advised to use Calsemin Tablet during hypercalcaemia since it causes the overdose of calcium, leading to kidney stones and other effects.
