About Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's
Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's is primarily used to treat low blood calcium and phosphate levels. Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's effectively treats Vitamin D deficiency, renal osteodystrophy (changes in bone caused by kidney failure), hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make high levels of calcium in the body), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), hypocalcaemia (low levels of calcium), 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 exposure to sunlight.
Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's contains 'Alfacalcidol,' which is an analogue of Vitamin D. It is a nutritional supplement activated by liver enzymes after intake. Alfacalcidol is further converted into the active form of vitamin D3 (calcitriol) and works by strengthening the bones by increasing the calcium and phosphate levels in the blood. Calcium and phosphate are essential substances to form healthy bones and teeth.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. In some cases, it may cause side effects like weakness, fatigue, sleepiness, headache, loss of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects of Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Please tell your doctor 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, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), or kidney stones. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's. Calcigiant Alpha 0.25 Softgel Capsule 10's is safe to use in children when advised by the doctor.
