About CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN
CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 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).
CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN consists of three medicines: Calcium glubionate, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and Cyanocobalamin. Calcium glubionate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and red blood cells.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like diarrhea, constipation, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.
Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines and herbal products before starting CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN. Please inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance before starting CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN. CALCIUM GLUBIONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL+CYANOCOBALAMIN is safe to use in children only when advised by the doctor.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
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.
Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).
Osteomalacia/Rickets: A disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low parathyroid hormone levels. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany (muscle cramps, spasms, or tremors).
Vitamin B12 deficiency (cobalamin deficiency): When your body doesn't have adequate mineral levels called Vitamin B12, it leads to Vitamin B12 deficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness, numbness, poor balance, and memory trouble.
