About Co-Plus 60K Capsule

Co-Plus 60K Capsule is a vitamin supplement primarily used to treat vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused by inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption, or lack of sunlight exposure. It effectively treats various conditions, including low calcium levels, osteoporosis (weak bones), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening of bones due to low calcium levels).

Co-Plus 60K Capsule contains Cholecalciferol, a form of vitamin D. It promotes the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin A from different organs and helps maintain overall health.

Co-Plus 60K Capsule is likely safe to consume. In rare cases, it may cause side effects such as constipation, increased blood calcium levels, elevated calcium levels in urine, vomiting, and nausea. These side effects typically do not require medical attention and usually resolve gradually over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your physician immediately.

Take Co-Plus 60K Capsule as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You can take Co-Plus 60K Capsule with or without food. It is advised not to take more than the recommended dose of Co-Plus 60K Capsule. Do not chew, crush or break the medicine.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Co-Plus 60K Capsule. This medicine may contain sugar or aspartame. Hence, caution should be taken in diabetes and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine). Let your doctor know if you have any liver/kidney disease, heart disease, kidney stones and hypervitaminosis D (having too much vitamin D) or are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Co-Plus 60K Capsule. Co-Plus 60K Capsule is safe to use in children when recommended by the paediatrician.
