Calcijesh Syrup

Calcijesh is a combination medication containing Calcium Carbonate (625 mg, equivalent to 250 mg elemental calcium) and Vitamin D3 (400 IU, or cholecalciferol). This formulation is primarily used to address low blood calcium levels and support skeletal health. Calcium is a vital mineral for bone formation, muscle function, nerve signaling, and heart health, while Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption in the intestines, ensuring optimal utilization. Calcijesh is commonly prescribed or recommended for individuals with inadequate dietary calcium intake, such as postmenopausal women, pregnant or nursing mothers, or those with conditions like osteoporosis, osteomalacia, or hypoparathyroidism. It is available in tablet form, often as a chewable or swallowable tablet, and is typically taken with meals for better absorption. Regular use, as part of a balanced diet, may reduce the risk of bone-related disorders and support overall wellness.

Key Benefits:

• Bone Health: Provides elemental calcium to strengthen bones and teeth, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
• Calcium Deficiency: Treats or prevents low blood calcium levels, addressing conditions like hypoparathyroidism, osteomalacia, or rickets.
• Vitamin D Support: Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption, crucial for bone formation and maintenance.
• Muscle and Nerve Function: Supports normal muscle contraction and nerve signaling, essential for overall body function.
• Immune and Cellular Health: Vitamin D3 contributes to immune function and cell growth, potentially reducing inflammation.
