About CALCIUM OROTATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+VITAMIN D3

CALCIUM OROTATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+VITAMIN D3 belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in the body like osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). It also prevents  muscle cramps and bone loss.

CALCIUM OROTATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+VITAMIN D3 consists of Calcium orotate (mineral), Magnesium hydroxide, and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium orotate prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients required for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium hydroxide increases bone mineral density and maintains joint and bone health. Magnesium also aids in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. CALCIUM OROTATE+MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE+VITAMIN D3 is likely safe to use.
