Indications:
CAL D is indicated for the treatment and prevention of calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It is used to support bone health, treat osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets, and in conditions requiring increased calcium intake such as pregnancy, lactation, and postmenopausal state.
Pharmacology:
Calcium is essential for bone formation, muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood coagulation. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gut and promotes bone mineralization. The combination enhances calcium retention and strengthens bones.

Adults: 1–2 tablets daily or as prescribed by a physician.
Children: As directed by a physician.
Pregnant or lactating women: Usually 1 tablet daily or as per doctor’s advice.
Administration:
Should be taken with meals to improve absorption. Avoid taking with high-fiber foods or iron supplements within the same time frame.
