Zecal 40 Plus Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called dietary supplements primarily used to treat calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency. Also, it is used to prevent bone diseases such as osteoporosis and rickets. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Rickets is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. 

Zecal 40 Plus Tablet contains Calcium, Vitamin D3, and isoflavones. Calcium is used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency in people who do not get enough calcium from their diet. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorous. Thereby increases calcium levels in the blood and helps to build and maintain strong bones. Isoflavones work by preventing bone loss and strengthening bones.

Hypocalcaemia: It is a condition caused due to low blood calcium levels. This can occur due to changes in hormones or decreased calcium consumption through dietary sources.

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 thins bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop production of estrogen (a female hormone) which is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Also, long-term use of steroids may affect bone strength and cause osteoporosis in both men and women. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.

Rickets: Rickets is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Adults can experience a similar condition known as osteomalacia. It causes bone pain, poor growth, and soft, weak bones that can lead to bone deformities.
