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
Before use, consult a doctor.
Inside. As a preventive measure for adults and children over 12 years , pregnant and lactating women 1-2 tablets a day. To increase absorption of calcium, it is preferable to take the tablet with a sour drink (orange or lemon juice).
For the course of prevention of osteoporosis - 2 tablets a day, one morning and one evening, mainly during meals.
For the treatment of osteoporosis, the course and dosage according to the doctor's recommendations.
SIDE EFFECT
Allergic reactions to the drug components are possible. Dysfunction of the digestive tract can be observed (constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain).
In the case of long-term use, an increase in the calcium content of the blood and urine is possible.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- severe renal dysfunction;
- hypercalcemia (elevated calcium in the blood - in individuals with strengthened parathyroid glands);
- hypercalciuria (increased excretion of calcium in the urine);
- urolithiasis (formation of calcareous stones);
- decalcifying tumors (myeloma, bone metastases, sarcoidosis);
osteoporosis due to immobilization;
- pulmonary tuberculosis (active form);
- children's age till 12 years;
- hypervitamyosis D;
- Hypersensitivity to one of the components of the drug.
Take care with persons suffering from kidney failure.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
The need for calcium and vitamin D in pregnancy and during breastfeeding is increasing. When taking the drug, it is necessary to take into account the additional intake of calcium and vitamin D from other sources in the body and carry out constant medical control.
To avoid toxic effects on the fetus, it is not recommended to take more than 1500 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D 3 per day. Calcium and vitamin D enter the breast milk.
APPLICATION FOR FUNCTIONS OF THE LIVER
Contraindicated in severe impairment of kidney function.
Take care with persons suffering from kidney failure.
APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN
Contraindicated for children under 12 years.
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. Do not apply simultaneously with vitamin complexes containing calcium and vitamin D 3 .
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.
The drug slows the absorption of antibiotics of the tetracycline group, acetylsalicylic acid and other salicylates, sulfonamides. 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.
