About V D3 Capsule

V D3 Capsule is used to treat low blood calcium levels. V D3 Capsule effectively treats various conditions in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (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). 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.

V D3 Capsule contains 'Vitamin-D3' (Cholecalciferol). It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels, as well as the mineralisation of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. It aids in calcium absorption, enabling bone growth and repair. It further prevents cartilage degeneration.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. V D3 Capsule is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, 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 doctor immediately.

If you are taking any medications or supplements, please inform your doctor before starting V D3 Capsule. If you are allergic to V D3 Capsule or any other medicines, tell your doctor before starting V D3 Capsule. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking V D3 Capsule.
