About Dical-D Tablet

Dical-D Tablet is used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels 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). 

Dical-D Tablet consists of Calcium (mineral), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), and Glycine (amino acid). Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients that help bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium, phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone. Glycine is an amino acid that improves bone health and reduces the risk of diseases like osteoporosis.
