C CALCY D3 60K SG M/C

• A single high-dose capsule corrects deficiency far more reliably than daily low-dose supplementation, where adherence is often poor.
• Weekly or monthly dosing suits long-term maintenance and is easy for patients to remember.
• Corrects the deficiency that underlies osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children.
• Adequate vitamin D status improves calcium absorption, muscle strength and the response to osteoporosis treatment.
• Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in India despite abundant sunshine, because of skin pigmentation, clothing and indoor living — this addresses it directly.

Not everyone gets these. Most are mild and settle as the course finishes.

• This is a high-dose preparation taken weekly or monthly, NOT daily. Taking it daily causes vitamin D toxicity. Confirm the schedule with the patient at every dispense.
• Contraindicated in hypercalcaemia, hypervitaminosis D, and in a history of calcium-containing kidney stones.
• Use with caution in renal impairment, and contraindicated or closely supervised in sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and other granulomatous disease, where vitamin D sensitivity is markedly increased.
• Serum calcium and vitamin D should be checked before starting a high-dose regimen and after correction, rather than continuing indefinitely without review.
• Take with a meal containing fat, as vitamin D absorption depends on it.
• Do not combine with another vitamin D preparation.
• Use with caution alongside thiazide diuretics and digoxin.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
