Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing Calcirol Sachet. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Calcirol Sachet contains the following component:

Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3, 60,000 IU): Cholecalciferol is the active component in this medication. It plays a pivotal role in calcium absorption in the gut, essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Promoting calcium absorption helps bone mineralisation and regulates the cells' calcium and phosphate levels.

Pregnancy

Pregnant women must exercise caution when taking Calcirol Sachet. Take it only under a doctor's prescription.

Breastfeeding

Calcirol Sachet can be taken by breastfeeding women when prescribed by a doctor. Cholecalciferol passes through the breast milk and can act as a supplement to keep the baby healthy.

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption can impair the calcium absorption in your body. Therefore, you should limit or stop the intake of alcohol to get optimum results from the treatment.

Liver

Certain liver conditions can interfere with the metabolism of cholecalciferol. So, if you have any liver disease or condition, inform your doctor. The doctor will study your case and prescribe the medication if and as suitable.

Kidney

Taking a Calcirol Sachet if you have kidney-related conditions might cause adverse effects. Inform your doctor about your condition. They may give you personalised advice about the use of this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

If you experience any side effects of Calcirol Sachet use, like nausea or dizziness, avoid handling machinery and/or driving. You should rest until the symptoms subside and you feel better.

Allergy

If you have any known allergies to cholecalciferol or any other ingredient in this medication, avoid its use. In case you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction after taking the medication, like abdominal cramps, dizziness, or vomiting, visit your doctor or a nearby hospital as soon as you can.

Children

This medication should be given to children only if prescribed by your child’s doctor. They would consider the child's age, overall health, and the severity of the problem to prescribe the proper dosage.

Older Patients

It is usually safe for older patients to take a Calcirol Sachet. However, the doctor will decide the dosage as individual reactions to the medication vary. So, make sure you consult to your doctor before taking this medication.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Calcirol Sachet may interact with the following medicines:

Enzyme inducers like phenytoin or barbiturates: When taken with Calcirol Sachet, these medications can reduce their effectiveness by affecting their metabolism.
Anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressants like glucocorticoids: Concurrent use of glucocorticoids may diminish the effectiveness of this medicine.
Cardiac medications like digitalis and cardiac glycosides: Taking oral calcium along with this medication may intensify the effects of digitalis and other cardiac glycosides. Close medical supervision, including ECG and calcium level monitoring, is necessary in such cases.
Gastrointestinal medications like cholestyramine and paraffin oil: Simultaneous use of these medications can decrease vitamin D absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
Antineoplastic agents like imidazole: These medications interfere with the activity of cholecalciferol by inhibiting the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D by the kidney enzyme, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Calcirol Sachet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and response to treatment.

Over Dose

In minor cases of overdose, you may experience bouts of nausea, uneasiness, and/or dizziness. Contact your doctor if the situation is concerning. A significant overdose of Calcirol Sachet, however, can cause severe issues and even be life-threatening. Make sure to see your doctor as soon as you can in case of an overdose.

Missed Dose

If you forget a dose of Calcirol Sachet, take it if you remember within a few hours. However, avoid repeating the dose.

Store Calcirol Sachet at room temperature and in a place of low moisture.
Make sure the sachet is sealed correctly.
Keep the medicine at a place the children and pets cannot reach.
Don’t use the sachet once the expiry date has passed.

Incorporate calcium-rich foods like dairy, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals. This complements the vitamin D absorption process.
Aim for 10-20 minutes of sunlight exposure daily, preferably during the morning. This helps in natural vitamin D synthesis.
Consume fatty fish, egg yolks, and mushrooms to boost vitamin D levels naturally.
