Bycal Plus Tablet 10's

Bycal Plus Tablet contains Calcium Carbonate 1250mg and Vitamin D3 400IU, a combination used to address calcium and vitamin D deficiencies and support bone health.

Benefits

This supplement helps maintain strong bones and teeth by providing essential calcium, with Vitamin D3 aiding in its absorption. It is beneficial for individuals with insufficient dietary intake of these nutrients, contributing to overall skeletal strength and reducing the risk of bone-related conditions.

Uses and Indications

• Prevention and treatment of low blood calcium and vitamin D levels.
• Management of conditions caused by calcium deficiency, such as osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, latent tetany, and hypoparathyroidism.
• Supplementation for individuals with increased calcium needs, including pregnant or breastfeeding women, and postmenopausal women.
• Support for bone and joint health, and enhancement of calcium absorption in the body.

The Bycal Plus Tablet contains:

• Calcium Carbonate 1250mg (equivalent to 500mg elemental calcium).
• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 400 IU.

Dosage and Administration

1. General Dosage: Take one tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
2. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with food to enhance absorption. If a daily dose exceeds 600mg, it is recommended to divide the dose and space it throughout the day.

Storage and Disposal

• Store in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep this medication out of the reach of children.
• Dispose of expired or unneeded medication responsibly, as per local guidelines.

Precautions and Safety

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as high levels of calcium or vitamin D can be harmful.
• Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney disease, high blood calcium or vitamin D levels, stomach conditions, heart disease, or sarcoidosis.
• Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription and non-prescription medications, vitamins, and herbal products you are taking, as calcium supplements can interact with certain drugs (e.g., bisphosphonates, thyroid hormones, tetracyclines, quinolones). Separate intake of calcium supplements from these medications by at least 1-2 hours, or as advised by your doctor.

Side Effects and Risks

• Common side effects may include constipation, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, belching, or upset stomach.
• Report any severe or persistent symptoms to your doctor.
• Serious side effects, though rare, can include symptoms of high calcium levels (hypercalcemia) such as increased thirst or urination, confusion, unusual weakness, fatigue, or bone pain. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
