Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide
About Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide
Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide belongs to the group of medicines called 'mineral and vitamin supplements', primarily used to treat or prevent calcium deficiency. It effectively treats various diseases caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (soft and weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease caused by low calcium levels). Calcium deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough calcium from food.
Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide consists of four medicines: Calcitriol, Calcium citrate maleate, Vitamin K2-7, and Zinc oxide. Calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D) increases vitamin D levels in the blood, which enhances calcium absorption in the intestines, leading to higher calcium levels in the blood. Calcium citrate maleate (a mineral) raises calcium levels in the blood, thus supporting bone formation and maintenance. Vitamin K2-7 (menaquinone-7) helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bones. Zinc oxide (a mineral) promotes bone formation by activating the bone enzyme alkaline phosphatase and inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). Together, Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide supports overall bone health.
Your doctor will determine the dose and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide may cause common side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Most of these side effects of Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide will gradually resolve over time without the need for medical attention. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Inform your doctor before taking Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Also, let your doctor know before taking Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide if you have any medical conditions, such as hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), kidney stones, malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrients from food), or heart, liver, stomach, or blood vessel diseases. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor for advice before taking Calcitriol+calcium Citrate Maleate+vitamin K2 7+zinc Oxide. This medication should be given to children only if recommended by a doctor.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Calcium deficiency: It occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's calcium intake is lower than the body's recommended requirement.
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density.
Osteomalacia/Rickets: It is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in adults (osteomalacia) and children (rickets) due to inadequate vitamin D.
Tetany: It is a disease caused by low calcium (hypocalcaemia) in the body, leading to cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).
Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease caused by low levels of parathyroid hormone, which can result in low calcium levels.
