Vegacal Capsule is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels).

Vegacal Capsule can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. Additionally, Vegacal Capsule is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney disease, surgery, or other conditions.

Vegacal Capsule consists of three medicines: Calcium carbonate (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and  Zinc (mineral). Calcium provides essential nutrients for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol helps in improving the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Zinc stimulates osteoblastic bone formation and mineralisation.

In some cases, Vegacal Capsule can cause side effects like constipation or stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to any of the components in Vegacal Capsule , please inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Vegacal Capsule . Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines or have pre-existing medical conditions to prevent potential interactions.

• Correction of Vitamin D Deficiency: Corrects low levels of vitamin D in the body, which is essential for calcium absorption and bone health.
• Treats Hypoparathyroidism: Manages calcium levels in patients with underactive parathyroid glands by improving calcium absorption.
• Manages Latent Tetany: Prevents and treats muscle cramps and spasms caused by low calcium levels in the blood.

• Vegacal Capsule can be taken with or without food as advised by your doctor.

• It replenishes low calcium levels in the body, supporting the proper functioning of nerves, muscles, and bones.
• Vegacal Capsule is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets, by strengthening bones and preventing fractures or deformities.
• It enhances calcium absorption from the intestine and maintains adequate blood calcium levels, especially in patients with hypoparathyroidism or chronic kidney disease.
• Vegacal Capsule helps in the treatment of tetany, a condition characterised by painful muscle cramps and spasms due to low calcium levels.
• It plays a vital role in bone regeneration, collagen formation, and protein synthesis, all of which are crucial for maintaining bone density and structure.

• If you are known to be allergic to Vegacal Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.
• Vegacal Capsule 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 Vegacal Capsule 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, or phosphate imbalance.
• If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Vegacal Capsule .
