Medical Description
Gemcal capsules are a dietary supplement that provides calcium, vitamin D, and zinc. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth, as well as for muscle and bone function. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in absorbing calcium and phosphorus from the intestine, which is critical for bone formation, growth, and regeneration. Zinc is important for bone formation, mineralisation, and healing. 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 blood calcium levels, use Gemcal with caution. Always take Gemcal capsules exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Gemcal capsules are typically taken orally 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 that contain calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.
