Medical Description
Shelcal-CT Max capsule is a nutritional supplement used to treat and prevent nutrient deficiencies. Its active ingredients are calcitriol (a form of Vitamin D3), omega-3 fatty acids, methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), folic acid (Vitamin B9), calcium and boron. These work together to support overall health when dietary intake of these nutrients is insufficient.
The supplement plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of bones, teeth, and muscles. Calcitriol helps regulate the balance of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are essential for strong bones. Calcium itself is a key building block for bones and also plays a crucial role in muscle function, blood clotting, and nerve signalling. Folic acid is vital for the formation of red blood cells and genetic material, while Vitamin B12 is essential for brain and nerve function and red blood cell production. Omega-3 fatty acids help in reducing triglyceride levels in the body.
You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor and for the duration they recommend. It is important to inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any planned surgeries, existing liver or kidney diseases, or if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Taking too much of this supplement can be harmful, leading to an excess of calcium, vitamin D3, and vitamin B12 in your body, as well as stomach discomfort. Overdose symptoms may include headaches, vomiting, abdominal pain, and muscle weakness. If you suspect an overdose, you should seek immediate medical attention. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
