Acucal Tablet is used to maintain normal bones. Acucal Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused due to inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption, or lack of sunlight exposure.

Acucal Tablet consists of three medicines: Calcium (mineral), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and magnesium (mineral). Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It is a provitamin that is converted into a vitamin after intake. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralization. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Magnesium is a mineral that plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones by increasing bone density and also helps to prevent the onset of osteoporosis.

Take Acucal Tablet as recommended. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Acucal Tablet is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, stomach upset, and diarrhea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, stop taking Acucal Tablet and consult your physician immediately.

Avoid using Acucal Tablet if allergic to it. Please tell your physician if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Brief your medical history if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance. Tell your physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You will need to talk about any risks to your baby. Acucal Tablet is safe to use in children if advised by the physician.

Avoid using if allergic to it. Acucal Tablet is not recommended if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Brief your medical history if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance.

Chewable and dissolving tablets of Acucal Tablet contain sugar or aspartame; hence caution should be taken to have diabetes and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine). Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the physician. Acucal Tablet is excreted into the breast milk, hence consult your doctor before taking Acucal Tablet if you are a breastfeeding mother. Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; therefore, it is advised to limit the alcohol intake while using Acucal Tablet . Acucal Tablet is safe to use in children when suggested by the pediatrician. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any drug without checking with your doctor. Do not store Acucal Tablet above 25°C. Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including herbal products).

Drug-Drug Interactions: Acucal Tablet may interact with drugs treating high cholesterol levels (cholestyramine, colesevelam, colestipol), antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, penicillin, neomycin, and chloramphenicol), anti-cancer drugs (estramustine, fluorouracil), drugs treating bone loss (alendronate), thyroid hormone (levothyroxine), weight-loss drugs (orlistat), anti-epileptics (phenobarbital), mineral oils (paraffin), water pills (furosemide, ethacrynic acid), and heart-related medicines (digitoxin), anti-hypertensives (amlodipine, atenolol), mercury poisoning antidote (dimercaprol)

Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid or reduce the intake of caffeine, soft drinks and alcohol that inhibit the calcium absorption.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Acucal Tablet is contraindicated in hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D, malabsorption syndrome, Vitamin D toxicity, heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis, Crohn's disease, Whipple's disease, achlorhydria, low levels of bile, phosphate imbalance, diabetes, and phenylketonuria.

Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle or misshapen bones. 

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and brittle bones by decreasing bone density. 

Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box). 

Osteomalacia/Rickets: A disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D.

Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low parathyroid hormone levels. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany (muscle cramps, spasms or tremors).
