Precaution

Hepersensitivity should partticularly be avoid in digitalized patients. Patients with mild to moderate renal failure ( commonly found in the elderly) of mild hypercalcuria should be supervised carefully with periodic checks of urinary calcium excretion and plasma calcium levels.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Normal requirements of calcium & vitamin D are raised during pregnancy & lactation. Calcium is excreted in breast milk but not sufficiently to produce adverse effect in the infant. Allowances should be made for vitamin D/calcium.

Use in Children

Children under 12 years of age should not take this preparation.

Drug Interaction

The risk of hypercalcaemia should be considered in patients taking thiazide diuretics since these drugs can reduce urinary calcium excretion. Hypercalcaemia must be avoid in digitalised patients.
Certain foods (e.g. those containing oxalic acid, phosphate or phytinic acid) may reduce the absorption of calaium.
Concomitant treatment with phenytoin or barbiturates can decrease the effect of vitamin D because of metabolic activation. Concomitant use of glucocorticoids can decrease the effect of vitamin D. The effect of digitalis and other cardiac glycosides may be accentuated with the oral administration of calcium combined with vitamin D.

Pharmaceutical Precautions

Store in a cool and dry place. Protect from light. Keep out of reach of children. Keep the tightly closed.
