INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2011.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Combined drug regulating the exchange of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
Reduces resorption (resorption) and increases the density of bone tissue, replenishing the lack of calcium and vitamin D 3 in the body.
Vitamin D 3 increases calcium absorption in the digestive tract and its binding in bone tissue.

The use of calcium and vitamin D 3 prevents the increase in the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is a stimulator of increased bone resorption (calcium leaching from the bones).

Vitamin D 3 is absorbed in the small intestine.
Calcium is absorbed in ionized form in the proximal small intestine by means of an active D-vitamin dependent transport mechanism.
INDICATIONS

It is used as a therapeutic and prophylactic drug:

- to compensate for calcium and / or vitamin D deficiency in the period of intensive growth in adolescence and adolescence (to achieve maximum peak of bone mass), for women during pregnancy and lactation;

- for prevention and basic therapy of osteoporosis (menopausal, senile, steroid, idiopathic, etc.) and its complications (fractures of bones);

- to fill the lack of calcium and vitamin D 3 in the elderly.

DOSING MODE

APPLICATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

In the elderly, the need for calcium is 1.5 g / day, in vitamin D 3 - 500-1000 IU / day.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

During the treatment period, it is necessary to constantly monitor the excretion of calcium in the urine and the concentration of calcium and creatinine in the plasma (in case of calciuria, exceeding 7.5 mmol / day (300 mg / day), it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop taking).

Children up to 12 years of age are recommended to use the drug only as directed by a doctor.

To avoid an overdose, additional intake of vitamin D 3 from other sources should be considered.

In the elderly, the need for calcium is 1.5 g / day, in vitamin D 3 - 500-1000 IU / day.

OVERDOSE

Symptoms of acute or chronic overdose are hypercalcemia and / or hypercalciuria, which are expressed by anorexia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, headache.In these cases, the drug is recommended to stop.
It is necessary to enter into the body a large amount of fluid and adhere to a diet with a limited amount of calcium.When symptoms of an overdose occur, consult a doctor.
DRUG INTERACTION

The activity of vitamin D 3 can be reduced by its simultaneous use with phenytoin or barbiturates.

With simultaneous treatment of cardiac glycoside, ECG and clinical control are necessary, because
calcium enhances the action of cardiac glycosides.

It is recommended to use for 2 hours or 2 hours after taking other medicines.
With the simultaneous use of diuretics from the group of thiazides, the risk of hypercalcemia increases.

Kolestyramin, laxative preparations (paraffin oil) reduce the absorption of vitamin D.
