Calcifit D Tablet is a nutritional supplement that is indicated in the treatment of Vitamin D deficiency, rickets, osteomalacia, nutritional deficiencies, deficiency caused due to malabsorption states or liver diseases, and hypocalcaemia (low blood calcium levels) caused by hypoparathyroidism (body produces abnormally low levels of parathyroid hormone). Calcifit D Tablet contains Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) with a strength of 10,000 IU, which is more effective than weekly doses and further builds immunity.

Calcifit D Tablet is used to treat low blood calcium levels. Calcifit D Tablet effectively treats various conditions 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.

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 makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. 

Tetany: A disease condition due to low calcium levels (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 of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. 

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