CIPCAL D3 GRANULES

Information about Cipcal D3 Granules

It is used to treat and prevent Vitamin D and calcium deficiency. It helps in the proper growth and development of bones and keeps the bones and joints healthy. It also increases the absorption of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin D3 is also known to help maintain adequate levels of two minerals essential for bone health, calcium, and phosphorus. It also enables the body to preserve bone health.

Cipcal D3 contains Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) which is a fat-soluble vitamin. It helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus found in food and supplements. It is synthesized within the body after exposure to sunlight and is essential for many important functions of the human body. Sunscreen, protective clothing, limited exposure to sunlight, dark skin (high melanin content), and age may prevent getting enough vitamin D from the sun, thus leading to Vitamin D3 Deficiency. Vitamin D3 in Cipcal D3 is also important for calcium absorption in the body.

It is available commercially in the form of sachets containing granules of cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Each sachet of Cipcal D3 weighs about one gram and contains 60,000 international units of cholecalciferol.

Quick tips for Cipcal D3 Granules:

These supplements should not be taken on an empty stomach or in between meals. To ensure optimum absorption, take these supplements as directed.

Vitamin D3 supplements may interact with some medications. For example, corticosteroids can reduce calcium absorption, which results in impaired Vitamin D metabolism. So, inform your doctor about the medications you are taking.

For effective results, it is wise to consult your doctor who will weigh the pros and cons of the medicine and then recommend the right dosage and type of supplement.

The deficiency of Vitamin D3 can be fixed by increasing your Vitamin D intake either through diet or through sunlight and supplements.

In case you miss a dose of Cipcal D3 Granules, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose at the scheduled time.

Side effects of Cipcal D3 Granules:

Although rare, levels of Vitamin D can exceed normal limits in the body. It usually happens due to an overdose of Vitamin D supplements. As the levels of Vitamin D in the blood becomes high, the free Vitamin D can cause an increase in the absorption of calcium from the digestive system, causing the levels of calcium in the blood to increase as well (hypercalcemia). In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure and artery calcification (hardening of the arteries due to calcium deposition).

Safety and storage information:

Read the label carefully before use.

Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
