It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone.

Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Rockbon D Tablet . Hence, it is advised to take Rockbon D Tablet two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

Rockbon D Tablet is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence, it is not advised to use Rockbon D Tablet during hypercalcaemia since it causes the overdose of calcium, leading to kidney stones and other effects.
