Safecal-500 Tab is used to treat low blood calcium levels. Safecal-500 Tab 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). Safecal-500 Tab can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. 

Safecal-500 Tab consists of two medicines, namely: Calcium carbonate(mineral) and  Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3). Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3) is used in the absorption of calcium in the blood. Which helps in the processing of essential minerals in the body like Calcium and Phosphorus. Lack of Vitamin D3 results in bone weakening, bone pain, and skin diseases. 

Take Safecal-500 Tab as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Safecal-500 Tab as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Safecal-500 Tab can 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.

If you are known to be allergic to Safecal-500 Tab or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Safecal-500 Tab . Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. Safecal-500 Tab may pass into the breast milk. Hence, breastfeeding mothers need to seek medical advice before starting Safecal-500 Tab . Do not take Safecal-500 Tab if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). 

Safecal-500 Tab is used in the treatment of Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal osteoporosis, Osteomalacia, Rickets, Calcium deficiency, and Hypoparathyroidism. The detailed uses of Safecal-500 Tab are as follows:

• Bone Health Support: Safecal-500 Tab helps prevent and treat osteoporosis and osteomalacia by improving bone density.
• Calcium Deficiency: Safecal-500 Tab corrects low calcium levels in the blood due to poor dietary intake or absorption.
• Rickets: Safecal-500 Tab treats soft or weak bones caused by vitamin D deficiency.
• Hypoparathyroidism: Safecal-500 Tab manages calcium imbalance due to underactive parathyroid glands.

• Recommended to take Safecal-500 Tab with food to enhance its absorption.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to ensure the safety.
• Swallow the medicine as a whole with glass of water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew it.

Safecal-500 Tab is a combination of three drugs, Calcium carbonate(mineral) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated 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 tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Calcium carbonate is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and teeth health. Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3) treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid glands' decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. 

If you are known to be allergic to Safecal-500 Tab or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Safecal-500 Tab . Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. Cholecalciferol in higher doses may harm the foetus. Safecal-500 Tab may pass into the breast milk, hence consult your doctor before taking Safecal-500 Tab if you are a breastfeeding mother. Safecal-500 Tab should be used with caution in children and only if prescribed by a doctor. Cholecalciferol in Safecal-500 Tab can affect growth in children. Inform your doctor if your child is not growing at a normal rate while using Safecal-500 Tab . Safecal-500 Tab is not recommended if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Inform your doctor before taking Safecal-500 Tab if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance. Safecal-500 Tab contains sugar or sorbitol; hence caution should be taken to have an intolerance to sugars, diabetes, and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine).
