About Calci Capsule

Calci Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called ‘vitamin D metabolites’ primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. Calci Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Calci Capsule can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. Additionally, Calci Capsule is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney disease, surgery, or other conditions.

Calci Capsule contains Calcitriol (Vitamin D3); it is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It is an essential nutrient to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid gland's decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine.

Take Calci Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Calci Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Calci Capsule can cause side effects like constipation or stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects of Calci Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Calci Capsule or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calci Capsule . Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. Calci Capsule may pass into the breast milk, hence breastfeeding mothers need to seek medical advice before starting Calci Capsule . Do not take Calci Capsule if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Inform your doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance.

FAQs

Calci Capsule contains calcitriol, and it works by making your body absorb more calcium from your diet. This helps to form healthy bones and reduce bone damage.

Calci Capsule can cause kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition when used for a prolonged period. Please consult your doctor before taking Calci Capsule as a daily supplement if you have any kidney problems or a history of kidney stones.

Calci Capsule is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence it is not advised to use Calci Capsule during hypercalcemia since it causes the overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.

Preferably, supplements of vitamin D3 should be taken along with the day's main meal or with milk.

Do not use Calci Capsule if you ate allergic to Calci Capsule or any other ingredients in it. Calci Capsule is not recommended in hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).
