Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's

Your doctor may prescribe Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's to help manage the following conditions:

• Osteoporosis: It helps slow down bone thinning and stimulates bone maintenance, reducing the risk of painful bone fractures.
• Osteopenia: This medicine helps manage early-stage bone loss, preventing it from progressing to severe osteoporosis.
• Postmenopausal bone loss: It addresses the rapid decline in bone density that often occurs in women due to falling oestrogen levels after menopause.

Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's provides calcium and active vitamin D to support bone mineralisation, while soy isoflavones may provide additional support for bone health, particularly after menopause.

• Supports bone strength: Calcium citrate supplies calcium needed to maintain the structure and strength of bones.
• Improves calcium use: Calcitriol helps the body absorb calcium from the intestine, making calcium available for normal bone mineralisation.
• Supports bone maintenance after menopause: Soy isoflavones are plant compounds with mild oestrogen-like activity and may help support bone maintenance as oestrogen levels decline after menopause.
• Helps correct nutritional gaps: When calcium or active vitamin D supplementation is clinically needed, this medicine can help maintain adequate levels required for healthy bones.

• Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's can be taken with or without food as advised by the doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Swallow Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not chew, crush, or break it.

• Eat calcium-rich foods: Support your treatment by incorporating dairy products, leafy greens, and calcium-fortified foods into your daily diet.
• Stay active: Engage in regular, low-impact weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, or climbing stairs to help stimulate bone growth and maintain strength.
• Limit caffeine and sodas: High intake of caffeine and carbonated beverages can interfere with how your body absorbs calcium.
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption speed up bone loss and decrease the effectiveness of your bone health treatment.

• Avoid extra calcium and vitamin D: Caltheta Iso Tablet 15's already contains calcium and calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D). Taking additional calcium, vitamin D, or calcium-containing antacids without medical advice may cause calcium levels in your blood to become too high.
• Separate interacting medicines: Calcium can reduce the absorption of levothyroxine and certain antibiotics, including tetracyclines and quinolones. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise the appropriate time gap based on the medicine you take.
• Attend recommended blood tests: Your doctor may check your calcium levels and kidney function during treatment. Urine calcium or other tests may also be needed, particularly during long-term treatment or after a dose change.
• Watch for high calcium levels: Persistent nausea, vomiting, constipation, unusual thirst, frequent urination, muscle weakness, or confusion may be signs of high calcium levels. Tell your doctor promptly if these symptoms develop.
• Discuss kidney problems: Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or a history of kidney stones. Calcium and calcitriol can affect calcium balance, so closer monitoring or changes to treatment may be needed.
• Review all medicines and supplements: Tell your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you use. Medicines such as thiazide diuretics (water tablets) can further increase calcium levels when taken with calcitriol.
• Follow the prescribed dose: Do not take more this medicine than recommended. Calcitriol is an active form of vitamin D, so excessive doses can cause high calcium levels and related complications.
