Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that causes weak and brittle bones by decreasing bone density. 

Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (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 bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low parathyroid hormone levels. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany (muscle cramps, spasms or tremors).

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.
Milk is considered to be the best source of calcium. You can take Rasocal Suspension with milk.
Rasocal Suspension can cause kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition when used for a prolonged period. Please consult your doctor before taking Rasocal Suspension as a daily supplement if you have any kidney problems or a history of kidney stones.
