Description
Afdcal Suspension is used to treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones).
Afdcal Suspension contains Calcium (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Calcium provides essential nutrients to support bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels, as well as bone mineralisation.
Afdcal Suspension is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Afdcal Suspension or its inactive components, inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Afdcal Suspension . Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines to prevent potential interactions.
