About MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL
MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like hypocalcaemia, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). It also prevents muscle cramps and bone loss. Hypocalcaemia is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.
MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL consists of Calcium carbonate (mineral), Magnesium (mineral), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate prevents or treats calcium deficiency and provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Magnesium helps in the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium levels and 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. MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL is likely safe to use. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
If you are allergic to any of the components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, and kidney stones before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL. MAGNESIUM+CALCIUM CARBONATE+CHOLECALCIFEROL should be used in children only when advised by the doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypocalcaemia: It is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.
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: It is a disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.
