Description

Indications
Calbo-D is indicated for the treatment of conditions like osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets, tetany, and parathyroid disorders. It is also frequently used to maintain adequate calcium intake during pregnancy and lactation, support osteogenesis, and assist in tooth formation, often as an adjunct to specific treatments. Additionally, it is used alongside anti-seizure medications to counteract potential calcium deficiencies. Calbo-D serves as a routine supplement and phosphate binder in patients with chronic renal failure.
Use as directed by a registered healthcare provider.

Pharmacology
Calbo-D contains a combination of Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Calcium plays a vital role in various bodily functions, particularly in the formation and maintenance of bones. Vitamin D3 facilitates the absorption and reabsorption of calcium, while also promoting bone formation. Clinical research has demonstrated that the combination of calcium and Vitamin D3 significantly contributes to bone growth and is effective in preventing osteoporosis and bone fractures.
