Effects of this medicine
This medicine contains calcium, natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and magnesium carbonate. Blood calcium is engaged in actions such as neurotransmission, muscle contraction and blood coagulation. Natural Vitamin D (Vitamin D2 and D3) is metabolized in the liver to 25(OH) D and then turns into activated vitamin D [1, 25(OH)2D] in the kidney. It increases the blood calcium by promoting calcium absorption in the small intestine and enhancing calcium reabsorption in the renal tubular. Magnesium is involved in calcium metabolism.
It is usually used to treat or prevent hypocalcemia associated with the use of RANKL inhibitors (denosumab [recombinant], etc.).
