Indication

Dosage & Administration

Adults and Elderly and children above 12 years of age: 2-3 tablets per day, preferably one tablet each morning and evening. Children: Not recommended for children under 12 years.

Precautions

Patients with mild to moderate renal failure or mild hypercalciuria should be supervised carefully. Periodic checks of plasma calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion should be made in patients with mild to moderate renal failure or mild hypercalciuria. Urinary calcium excretion should also be measured. In patients with a history of renal stones urinary calcium excretion should be measured to exclude hypercalciuria. With long-term treatment it is advisable to monitor serum and urinary calcium levels and kidney function, and reduce or stop treatment temporarily if urinary calcium exceeds 7.5mmol/24 hours. Allowances should be made for calcium and vitamin D supplements from other sources.
