About this medicine
Calcitriol in Calcit SG Capsule helps the body absorb more calcium from the intestine and ensures proper calcium utilization in the body. It is particularly beneficial for people who cannot produce enough active vitamin D due to kidney dysfunction or other metabolic issues. By improving calcium absorption and reducing bone loss, it helps in preventing fractures and maintaining bone strength.
Your doctor may recommend Calcit SG Capsule in cases of hypocalcemia (low calcium levels), renal osteodystrophy (bone changes due to chronic kidney disease), and other conditions related to disturbed calcium-phosphorus metabolism. The dosage and duration of this medicine depend on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment.
This capsule should be taken as directed by your physician, preferably with or after food to enhance absorption. Regular monitoring of calcium and phosphate levels may be required during treatment to avoid complications like hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels).
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions closely and inform them about any other medications you are taking. Avoid taking calcium or vitamin D supplements unless prescribed, as they may interact with Calcit SG Capsule.
