About Xtracal K2 Tablet
Xtracal K2 Tablet 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).
Xtracal K2 Tablet consists of Calcium, Calcitriol, and Menaquinone. Calcium provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. Menaquinone helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.
Xtracal K2 Tablet can cause side effects such as constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, a fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Xtracal K2 Tablet or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Xtracal K2 Tablet .
