About Calshine X Tablet

Calshine X Tablet belongs to the class of 'multivitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).

Calshine X Tablet is a combination of Calcium carbonate, Vitamin D3, L Methylfolate, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and Methylcobalamin. Calcium carbonate makes the bones stronger by increasing their density. It helps in treating and preventing low calcium levels. Vitamin D3 helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. L Methylfolate helps produce new blood cells and prevents low folate levels. Pyridoxine is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Calshine X Tablet may cause common side effects like upset stomach, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother, please consult your doctor before taking Calshine X Tablet . Calshine X Tablet should not be given to children unless prescribed by a doctor.
