Mgcal DK Tablet 10's

Mgcal DK Tablet is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Mgcal DK Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Mgcal DK Tablet consists of three medicines: Elemental Calcium (mineral), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Elemental Calcium is a mineral that prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. It raises the Vitamin D levels and thereby improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. 

Your doctor will decide the duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Mgcal DK Tablet can cause side effects like constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weakness, tiredness, and headache. Most of these side effects of Mgcal DK Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor. 

Inform your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, or kidney stones before starting Mgcal DK Tablet . Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Mgcal DK Tablet . Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence, it is advised to limit alcohol intake while using Mgcal DK Tablet . Children should be given this supplement only when advised by the doctor. 

Mgcal DK Tablet  consists of Elemental Calcium (mineral), Vitamin D3/Cholecalciferol, and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Elemental Calcium is a mineral that prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and tooth health. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. Together, Mgcal DK Tablet helps improve bone strength and treats associated nutritional deficiencies.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components. Mgcal DK Tablet is not recommended 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/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. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Mgcal DK Tablet . Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence it is advised to limit alcohol intake while using Mgcal DK Tablet . Children should be given this supplement only when advised by the doctor.

Drug-Drug Interaction: Mgcal DK Tablet may interact with synthetic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine), anti-clotting drugs (dicumarol, warfarin), drugs treating high cholesterol levels (cholestyramine, colestipol), antibiotics (doxycycline, ciprofloxacin), drugs treating bone loss (alendronate), weight-loss drugs (orlistat), anti-cancer drugs (estramustine), and drugs that treat high blood phosphorus levels (sevelamer).

Drug-Food Interaction: Avoid or reduce the intake of caffeine, soft drinks and alcohol as they may inhibit calcium absorption.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Mgcal DK Tablet is not recommended in hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D, malabsorption syndrome, Vitamin D toxicity, kidney stones, sarcoidosis, Crohn's disease, Whipple's disease, achlorhydria, low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance.

• Replace the meat with tofu or tempeh for extra calcium in your food.

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is less than the body's recommended requirement. 

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. 

Osteomalacia/Rickets: It is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. 

Tetany: It is a disease condition occurring due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcaemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box). 

Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany.
