CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC belongs to the ‘nutritional supplements’ class, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium).
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC consists of Calcium citrate (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Elemental Zinc (mineral). Calcium Citrate is a mineral used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that raises Vitamin D levels, increasing calcium levels in the blood. Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC is likely safe to consume. Sometimes, it may cause common side effects like constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components present in it. Inform your doctor if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), heart/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) before starting CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC. It is advised to limit alcohol consumption since it may affect calcium absorption. This supplement should be used in children only when advised by the doctor.
Nutritional deficiencies, Low calcium levels, Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia (Rickets), and Vitamin D deficiency.
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CITRATE+ELEMENTAL ZINC is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It consists of Calcium Citrate (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Elemental Zinc (mineral). Calcium citrate is a mineral used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that treats calcium deficiency and metabolic bone diseases. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. It also aids in calcium absorption enabling bone growth and repair. Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is lesser than the body's recommended requirement.
Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle or misshapen bones.
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density.
Osteomalacia/Rickets: A disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.
