Indications

Calci helps meet the body's calcium needs and is commonly used during pregnancy and lactation, as well as in the management of childhood rickets, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Calcium pantothenate is the calcium salt of pantothenic acid and serves as an important source of supplementary calcium for the body. It helps neutralize gastric acid in peptic ulcer disease, and by lowering serum phosphate concentration, it provides dietary calcium that ultimately supports the deposition of calcium phosphate in bone and soft tissue.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
