SHELCAL-500
₹158.60
The Shelcal-500 tablet is a very common and popular over-the-counter (OTC) nutritional supplement used to treat and prevent calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. It is primarily used to maintain strong bones and support overall skeletal health.
Key Ingredients
Each Shelcal-500 tablet contains two active ingredients:
- Elemental Calcium (500mg): Derived from Calcium Carbonate. Calcium is the main mineral component of bones and teeth and is vital for bone density, nerve transmission, muscle function, and heart health.
- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol, typically 250 IU or 500 IU depending on the variant): Essential for the proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the food you eat, ensuring these minerals are used effectively by the body to build and repair bones.
Uses and Benefits
- Strong Bones and Teeth: Helps maintain and enhance bone mineral density, reducing the risk of fractures.
- Osteoporosis Prevention/Management: Frequently prescribed for individuals at risk of, or managing, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, or rickets.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: Used as a vital supplement during pregnancy and breastfeeding to meet the increased demand for calcium in both the mother and the developing baby.
- Deficiency Treatment: Manages conditions caused by inadequate dietary intake or malabsorption of calcium and Vitamin D.
- General Health: Supports normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscles, and the heart.
Potential Side Effects
When taken as directed, side effects are usually minimal. Common side effects include:
- Constipation
- Stomach upset, nausea, or vomiting
- Bloating or gas
- Headache
- Diarrhea
Important Precautions
- Dosage: Adhere to the dosage prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
- Kidney Health: Use with caution if you have a history of kidney stones or kidney problems.
- Drug Interactions: Calcium can interfere with the absorption of other medicines (e.g., thyroid medication, certain antibiotics). Take other medications at least 2-4 hours apart from Shelcal-500.
- Diet: Certain foods like spinach, whole grains, and high-fiber diets can inhibit calcium absorption; avoid consuming them at the same time as the tablet.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
