About Callact K2 Tablet

Callact K2 Tablet is used to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Postmenopause is a condition in which women have not had a period for 12 months or longer. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, which is common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.

Callact K2 Tablet contains Calcitriol, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and vitamin K2-7.  Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency.
