The Shelcal ISO Tablet (often presented as a soft gelatin capsule) is a prescription nutritional supplement used primarily to manage and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and address calcium and Vitamin D deficiencies. It contains ingredients that help strengthen bones and manage hormonal changes associated with menopause. 
Key Ingredients and How They Work
The Shelcal ISO capsule contains a combination of three active ingredients: 
  • Calcium Carbonate (equivalent to elemental calcium): Essential for maintaining bone density and strength.
  • Calcitriol (active form of Vitamin D3): Promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which is crucial for bone development and maintenance.
  • Soya Isoflavones: These are plant-based compounds (phytoestrogens) with estrogen-like effects. They help manage menopausal symptoms and support bone health by potentially reducing the risk of bone loss, particularly in postmenopausal women. 
Uses and Benefits
  • Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: The main use is in managing bone loss that occurs after menopause, reducing the risk of fractures.
  • Calcium Deficiency: Treats conditions where individuals do not get sufficient calcium in their diet.
  • Bone Health Support: Promotes the growth and development of bones, helping maintain skeletal integrity and vitality.
  • Overall Health: Supports proper function of muscles, nerves, and heart. 
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are generally mild and temporary. 
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Constipation, gas, or stomach pain
  • Headache
  • Loss of appetite or irritability 
Important Precautions
  • Prescription Only: Shelcal ISO is a prescription medication and should only be taken as directed by a physician.
  • Kidney Health: Use with caution in patients with impaired kidney function or a history of kidney stones.
  • Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially antacids or thyroid medications, as timing adjustments may be necessary to avoid interference with calcium absorption.
  • Alcohol: It is unsafe to consume alcohol with this capsule, as it may reduce calcium absorption and weaken bones.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as the risks and benefits need to be discussed.
