Indications & Uses
Sante is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Calcium is used as a medicine in humans almost only to correct a deficiency. The body needs enough calcium in the blood for many of its functions, and it will not tolerate a shortage even for a short time.
Vitamin C is a necessary part of the diet because humans can't make it themselves. It is a very powerful reducing agent. Vitamin C also helps the body respond to stress and is important in defence against infection.

Side Effects
Mild stomach upset, such as bloating or diarrhea, can happen with this calcium lactate gluconate, calcium carbonate and vitamin C combination, though it's rare. In people who are already prone to them, long treatment with high doses may also encourage stones to form in the urinary tract.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
If a patient has mild hypercalciuria (exceeding 300 mg = 7.5 mmol/24 hours), mild or moderate impairment of renal function, or a history of urinary concrements, calcium excretion in the urine needs to be monitored. The dose should be reduced if necessary, or the therapy stopped. High doses of vitamin-D and its derivatives should be avoided during treatment with Calcium Lactate Gluconate + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin C, unless they are especially indicated. Since citrate salts have been reported to increase aluminium absorption, this medicine should be used with caution in patients with severely impaired renal function, especially those receiving aluminium-containing preparations. Diabetic patients should take the sugar content into account.
Contraindications
Don't use this combination of Calcium Lactate Gluconate, Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin C if the patient has hypercalcemia (for example in hyperparathyroidism, vitamin-D overdosage, or decalcifying tumors such as plasmocytoma and bone metastases), severe hypercalciuria or severe renal failure. It is also not for patients with hyperoxalauria, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or iron overload. Larger doses may upset the gastrointestinal tract.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Studies on oral calcium in people have found no increase in the risk of birth defects in the baby. Some supplemental calcium may pass into breast milk, but the amount is unlikely to be enough to cause any harmful effect in the newborn. Vitamin C can be taken safely during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
No case of acute overdose with Calcium Lactate Gluconate + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin C has been reported. If it did happen, it would be expected to cause stomach and bowel upset, but not hypercalcemia. The exception is a patient who is being treated with a very high dose of vitamin-D or its derivatives.
⚠️ In an emergency call 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Storage
Keep the Calcium Lactate Gluconate + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin C preparation in a cool, dry place. Protect it from heat, light and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children. Close the tube tightly after each use.
