Medical Description

Gemcal capsule is a dietary supplement containing a combination of calcium, vitamin D, and zinc. It is primarily used to improve bone health and prevent diseases such as osteoporosis. This supplement should be used with caution in patients who have kidney disease, high levels of uric acid, or diseases that cause an increase in calcium concentration. Take the Gemcal capsules exactly as directed by your doctor. Gemitrol capsule, Bonestat capsule, Calzem capsule, Triozac Plus capsule and Goldcal capsule are some other medicines with calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.

Calcium is required for many bodily processes, including bone formation and maintenance, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids in the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract. It is essential for maintaining bone health and regulating calcium levels in the blood. Furthermore, vitamin D3 promotes proper cell growth and aids in the reduction of inflammation.

Gemcal capsules are typically taken orally, in accordance with a healthcare professional's dosage recommendations. The exact dosage depends on an individual's calcium and vitamin D levels, age, and the underlying condition being treated. It is critical to remember that Gemcal capsules should be taken with or immediately after a meal because calcium absorption is improved when taken with food. It is also recommended to eat a well-balanced diet that includes other calcium and vitamin D sources.
