INTRODUCTION ABOUT SHELCAL 500MG TABLET
SHELCAL
500MG TABLET is a bone health supplement comprising Calcium carbonate
and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) as active ingredients. It corrects
calcium and Vitamin D3 deficiency and its associated health conditions
like osteoporosis (bones become brittle and fragile), osteomalacia
(softening of bones), and rickets (abnormal calcification, softening,
and distortion of the bones typically resulting in bowlegs).
SHELCAL
500MG TABLET is also considered a source of calcium supplement for
women, especially during the stages of menopause, to manage their
nutritional needs.
It is highly suggestive as part of
osteoporosis management and during pregnancy, where it helps to maintain
proper bone growth in the growing foetus and satisfies the extra
nutritional needs during pregnancy.
Patients undergoing
management with SHELCAL 500MG TABLET will be asked to monitor their
plasma levels of calcium frequently to avoid hypercalcemia (increased
calcium levels).
SHELCAL 500MG TABLET is not recommended for use
in patients with hypervitaminosis D (increased levels of vitamin D in
the blood), kidney stones, or diseases that increase calcium levels in
the blood and urine (Ex. hyperparathyroidism). It can be used during
pregnancy and breast-feeding when instructed by your physician.
SHELCAL
500MG TABLET should be taken with caution in patients with sarcoidosis
(growth of a tiny collection of inflammatory cells or granulomas in any
part of the body), immobilized patients with osteoporosis (brittle
bones), malignancies (abnormal growth of cells), and impaired renal
function.
The most common side effects of taking SHELCAL 500MG
TABLET include nausea, vomiting, constipation, excess gas, dry mouth,
loss of appetite, and acid reflux. Consult your doctor if any of the
side effects worsen.

HOW SHELCAL 500MG TABLET WORKS
SHELCAL 500MG TABLET is a bone-strengthening tablet that contains calcium and vitamin D3 as key ingredients.
The
calcium carbonate present in the medicine supplements your body with
appropriate levels, which are required to maintain bone strength and
carry out various biological functions.
Vitamin D3 is necessary
for the absorption of bone minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
zinc, etc. and makes your bones strong and healthy. When combined, they
help in maintaining healthy bones and joints.
