After a caesarean section, your doctor may usually advise continuing the calcium and iron supplements you took during pregnancy to support recovery and prevent anaemia. Common options include an iron supplement, such as Ferrous Fumarate, and a calcium supplement with vitamin D3, such as Calcitriol. Always follow the specific supplements and dosages recommended by your doctor to ensure they are safe for you and compatible with breastfeeding.

I feel weak and lacking in energy, and I have a calcium and vitamin D deficiency. What should I do?

You should consult your doctor to confirm your deficiency and discuss the appropriate supplements. Typically, calcium and vitamin D3 supplements are prescribed to correct deficiencies. Additionally, eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, soybeans, and nuts. Regular, safe exposure to sunlight also helps your body produce vitamin D naturally. Following this approach can help restore your energy and support overall well-being.

I have a broken bone and need a calcium supplement. Can I take Shelcal Syrup?

Yes, Shelcal Syrup contains Calcium (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), which help bones heal after a fracture. However, if you have kidney problems or other medical conditions, consult your doctor before taking it to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your condition. Please take it as directed by your doctor, usually after meals to improve absorption.

My one-year-old baby is still dependent on breastfeeding. What calcium supplement should I take?

You should continue to focus on getting calcium from foods, such as milk, yoghurt, cheese, or fortified milk alternatives, while breastfeeding, as this is best for both you and your baby. Consult your doctor, who will review your diet and may recommend a calcium supplement, such as Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Citrate, ideally combined with vitamin D for better absorption. It is important to take the correct dose, as too much calcium can be harmful.
