Calvimax Plus

Presentation: Tablets containing a combination of calcium (likely as calcium carbonate), Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), and possibly other minerals like magnesium or zinc. The specific strengths of calcium, Vitamin D3, and any additional minerals will vary depending on the formulation available in Bangladesh.

Indications: Indicated for the prevention and treatment of calcium and Vitamin D deficiency. It is often used in conditions such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia (softening of the bones), and rickets (a bone disorder in children). Calvimax Plus may also be recommended as a supplement to ensure adequate intake of calcium and Vitamin D, along with other potentially beneficial minerals, especially in the elderly, individuals with limited sun exposure, or those with dietary restrictions. The additional minerals may contribute to overall bone health and other bodily functions.

Dosage and Administration: The dosage depends on the strength of the tablet and the individual's needs. Typically, adults take one or two tablets daily, or as directed by a physician. It is often recommended to take Calvimax Plus with or after a meal to enhance calcium absorption. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.

Side Effects: Generally well-tolerated when taken as directed. However, high doses of calcium or Vitamin D may lead to hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), which can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and weakness. Excessive intake of other minerals present in the formulation may also lead to specific side effects.

Precautions: Use with caution in individuals with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria (high levels of calcium in the urine), kidney stones, or kidney disease. Consult a physician before use if you have hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, or are taking other medications, especially cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin) or thiazide diuretics, as interactions may occur. Be mindful of the potential for interactions or excessive intake if you are taking other supplements containing calcium, Vitamin D, or the additional minerals present in Calvimax Plus.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
