FizyCal-M
RxEffervescent Tablet
Indications & Uses
Calcium Lactate Gluconate + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin D3 + Multiminerals is used to treat and prevent calcium and Vitamin-D deficiency. Doctors also use it to treat and prevent osteoporosis, as an adjunct to other specific therapy.
Pharmacology
Calcium in the blood has to stay at an adequate level, because so many functions in the body depend on it. Our internal biochemistry will not tolerate a deficiency, not even for a short time. Clinical evidence suggests that calcium is useful for preventing and treating osteoporosis and the fractures linked with it.
Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones. It helps calcium get absorbed from the GI tract, and it stimulates bone formation as well. Clinical studies show that calcium and vitamin D work together on bone growth, and also in preventing osteoporosis and fractures.
