About Oris C3 Tablet

Oris C3 Tablet belongs to the group of vitamins and is a Vitamin D metabolite. Oris C3 Tablet is used to strengthen bones and promote bone growth and development by enhancing the content of calcium and vitamin d, essential for bone integrity. Rickets and osteomalacia are bone diseases that happen due to nutritional deficiencies and are characterised by weakened bones and bone deformities. Osteoporosis is a disease that renders bones weak and brittle, prone to easy falls and fractures.

Oris C3 Tablet mobilises calcium ion uptake from the intestines, thus increasing calcium stores in the body.

Medicinal Benefits

Oris C3 Tablet is a Vitamin used to treat low calcium levels in the body. It contains Calcitriol, Calcium Citrate and Vitamin D3. It is used primarily in the treatment of bone disease and works by enhancing bones' calcium and mineral content. In addition, Oris C3 Tablet promotes the normal functioning of nerve cells. Calcitriol is an active form of Vitamin D3, which increases the production of carrier proteins responsible for mobilising calcium ions from the gut into the body, replenishing its stores. Calcitriol also activates bone-producing cells (osteoblasts) and reduces urinary loss of calcium from the body. Calcium citrate helps by restoring normal calcium levels in the body, required for the optimal functioning of bones. Hence, Oris C3 Tablet is useful in bone diseases such as rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, renal osteodystrophy (bone deformities seen in patients undergoing dialysis for kidney disease) and endocrine conditions such as hypoparathyroidism, where inadequate parathormone production leads to a decrease in blood calcium.
