Joncitrol Capsule 10's

Joncitrol Capsule 10's is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). It can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Also, it treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood. It helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation or stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache.

It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels).

Joncitrol Capsule 10's consists of Calcium, Calcitriol, and Menaquinone. Calcium provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. Menaquinone helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.

Joncitrol Capsule 10's can cause side effects such as constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, a fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Joncitrol Capsule 10's or its inactive components, please inform your doctor.

  • Calcium is a mineral that helps prevent or treat calcium deficiency.
  • It helps to maintain bone and teeth health.
  • Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency, hypoparathyroidism (a condition where the parathyroid glands are inactive), and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure.
  • Menaquinone, also known as Vitamin K2, helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Calcium-regulating proteins are also required in the arteries.
Side effects of Joncitrol Cap
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  • Avoid dairy product such as cheese, milk, yogurt and ice cream.
  • Maintain healthy weight and exercise daily.
  • Following a low-calcium diet can help reduce hypercalcemia symptoms.
  • Reduce sodium intake to minimize calcium excretion in urine.
  • Limit animal protein consumption to decrease urinary calcium levels.
  • Increase fluid intake by drinking plenty of water to dilute urine.
  • Moderate calcium intake based on individual needs, avoiding drastic restriction.
  • Limit oxalate-rich foods like spinach and chocolate to minimize kidney stone formation.

How Joncitrol Capsule 10's Works

Joncitrol Capsule 10's consists of three medicines: Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Menaquinone (Vitamin K2). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Menaquinone is also known as Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 helps to maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Calcium-regulating proteins also require menaquinone in the arteries.
