GEMITROL CAPSULE is a combination of Calcitriol, Calcium carbonate, and Zinc which belongs to the group of medicines called Nutritional supplements. It is used in adults for the management of low blood calcium levels in conditions including chronic renal failure, osteodystrophy (bone pain, joint pain, bone deformation, and fractures due to kidney disease or disturbances in calcium and phosphorus levels), and osteoporosis (bones become weak and brittle as we age).

GEMITROL CAPSULE is also used to manage hypoparathyroidism (changes to parathyroid glands that may decrease the blood calcium too low), rickets or osteomalacia (softening and weakening of bones in children and adults, respectively, due to a lack of adequate vitamin D), after small bowel resection, and psoriasis (a disease in which skin becomes dry with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp).

Avoid taking GEMITROL CAPSULE within 2 hours of eating foods rich in oxalic acid (Ex. spinach and rhubarb), phosphate (Ex. brain), or phytic acid (Ex. whole cereals). GEMITROL CAPSULE is not recommended for patients having diseases and/or conditions resulting in hypercalcaemia and/or hypercalciuria (ex. myeloma, bone metastases, primary hyperparathyroidism) and hypervitaminosis D.

GEMITROL CAPSULE should be used with caution in patients with impaired liver function and kidney problems such as nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and renal failure.

GEMITROL CAPSULE is generally not recommended for use in pregnant women, children, or adolescents unless considered necessary. GEMITROL CAPSULE should be avoided by breastfeeding women. GEMITROL CAPSULE should be used with caution with elderly patients.

The common side effects of GEMITROL CAPSULE are muscle pain, weakness, headache, excessive sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, and dry mouth. If any of these become worse, contact your doctor.
