Calcium 600+d Plus Minerals

Drug Details

This combination medication is designed to prevent or address low blood calcium levels in individuals who do not obtain sufficient calcium from their diet. It is effective in managing conditions that stem from low calcium levels, such as osteoporosis (bone loss), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (reduced activity of the parathyroid gland), and latent tetany (a specific muscle condition). Additionally, it ensures adequate calcium intake for certain individuals, including pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal women, and those on medications like phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone. Calcium is crucial for proper nerve, cell, muscle, and bone function. Inadequate blood calcium leads the body to extract calcium from the bones, resulting in weakened bones. Vitamin D enhances the body's ability to absorb calcium and phosphorus, both vital for developing and maintaining strong bones.
