Lumicalcium Tab

Tablet

Calcium and vitamin D supplementation to help prevent or treat deficiency; supports bone health in conditions like osteopenia/osteoporosis, pregnancy/lactation and elderly with low dietary intake (exact indication depends on composition).

Calcium provides an essential mineral for bone and teeth mineralization and normal neuromuscular function. If vitamin D is present, it increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and helps maintain adequate serum calcium for bone formation.

Tablets are usually taken by mouth with food to reduce stomach upset; swallow with water. Follow the dosage as advised by a doctor/pharmacist; avoid taking at the same time as iron, thyroid medicines or certain antibiotics—keep a 2–4 hour gap.

Constipation, bloating, stomach upset, nausea, belching, flatulence

Do not use without medical advice in hypercalcaemia, hyperparathyroidism, kidney stones, severe kidney disease, sarcoidosis or vitamin D toxicity. Excess intake can cause high calcium levels—seek care if you develop severe nausea/vomiting, confusion, excessive thirst/urination. Use caution in renal impairment; may need monitoring of calcium and kidney function.

Levothyroxine (reduced absorption), tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones (reduced antibiotic absorption), bisphosphonates (reduced absorption), iron and zinc supplements (reduced absorption), thiazide diuretics (increased risk of hypercalcaemia), digoxin (arrhythmia risk with high calcium)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct light. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
