Alphadol-ca

Contraindications

hypersensitivity to vitamin D3,

increased excretion of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria),

urolithiasis (formation of calcium stones),

increased calcium content in the blood (in persons with increased parathyroid function, hypervitaminosis D, osteochondrosis, metastases of tumors in the bone).

Incompatibilities

Calcium can enhance the absorption of tetracycline-type drugs, fluoride-containing drugs, and iron preparations. Therefore, the drug is taken 2 hours before or after taking tetracyclines and fluoride compounds. The acidic reaction of food products increases the absorption of calcium, and the slightly alkaline reaction reduces it. Calcium enhances the action of cardiac glycosides. Diuretics from the group of thiazides (hydrochlorothiazide, etc.) reduce the excretion of calcium and thereby increase its content in the body.

Pharmaceutical form

Soft gelatin capsules, oblong, double color (light blue/dark blue). The contents of the capsules are an almost white semi-solid mass.

Undesirable effects

In the case of prolonged use, an increase in the content of calcium in the blood and urine is possible.
