Gemcal Strip Of 15 Capsules
Medical Description
Gemcal capsules are a dietary supplement that provides calcium, vitamin D, and zinc. They are primarily used to strengthen bones and help prevent conditions like osteoporosis. If you have kidney disease, high uric acid levels, or conditions that increase calcium levels in your blood, use Gemcal with caution. Always take Gemcal capsules exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Gemcal capsules are usually taken by mouth as directed by your doctor. The correct dose will depend on your calcium and vitamin D levels, age, and the specific health condition being treated. Importantly, take Gemcal capsules with or shortly after a meal, as this helps your body absorb calcium better. It's also crucial to maintain a balanced diet that includes other sources of calcium and vitamin D.
Gemitrol capsule, Bonestat capsule, Calzem capsule, Triozac Plus capsule and Goldcal capsule are some other medicines with calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.
