Description
Trade name:
Calcium D3F
Compound:
Each tablet contains:
Calcium carbonate 1000 mg
Vit D3 1000 M.E.
Sodium fluoride 0.25 mg
Properties:
A combination drug that regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body. Reduces resorption and increases bone density, replenishing the deficiency of calcium and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) in the body. Calcium is involved in the regulation of nerve conduction, muscle contractions, hormone production and is a component of the blood coagulation system. Vitamin D3 and sodium fluoride increase calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and its binding in bone tissue. The use of calcium and vitamin D3 prevents an increase in the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is a stimulator of increased bone resorption (leaching of calcium from bones).
Indications:
As a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for conditions of calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency in the body associated with poor nutrition or an increased need for calcium and vitamin D3, including:
- pregnancy;
- lactation period;
- prevention and treatment of postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis, osteomalacia (as part of combination therapy).
Method of administration and dosage:
Children: 1 tablet per day.
Adults: 1-2 tablets per day.
Contraindications:
- severe renal dysfunction;
- hypercalcemia (with hyperfunction of the parathyroid glands);
- hypercalciuria;
- urolithiasis;
- decalcifying tumors (myeloma, bone metastases, sarcoidosis);
- osteoporosis due to immobilization;
- pulmonary tuberculosis (active form);
- childhood;
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
Precautions:
Use with caution in patients with renal failure. During treatment, it is necessary to constantly monitor the excretion of calcium in the urine and the concentration of calcium and creatinine in the plasma. In case of calciuria exceeding 7.5 mmol/day (300 mg/day), it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop taking the drug. To avoid overdose, it is necessary to take into account the additional intake of vitamin D3 from other sources. Do not use simultaneously with vitamin complexes containing calcium and vitamin D3.
Side effects:
From the digestive system: constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain are possible.
Others: allergic reactions are possible; in case of prolonged use, hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria are possible.
Storage method:
At a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees.
