Medicinal Benefits

Xtracal K2 Tablet is used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated 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 tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Xtracal K2 Tablet consists of Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2). Calcium is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and teeth health. Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. Menaquinone, also known as Vitamin K2, helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Calcium-regulating proteins also require it in the arteries.

Uses of Xtracal K2 Tablet

Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia (Rickets), Calcium deficiency, Tetany and Hypoparathyroidism.

About Xtracal K2 Tablet

Xtracal K2 Tablet consists of three medicines, namely: Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2).
