About Parnacal-OD Tablet

Parnacal-OD Tablet belongs to the nutritional supplements class, primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (a condition in which parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium).

Parnacal-OD Tablet consists of two drugs: Calcium orotate (mineral) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Calcium orotate is a mineral used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralisation of bone. It aids in calcium absorption, enabling bone growth and repair. It further prevents cartilage degeneration.
