Calcemin, 120 pcs.

Composite preparation containing vitamin DZ, micro- and macroelements. It regulates phosphorus-calcium metabolism, compensates relative deficit of microelements and vitamin DZ, prevents diseases of musculoskeletal system, promotes strengthening of bone system and joints.

Calcium contained in the preparation is a building component of bone tissue, regulates permeability of the vascular wall, participates in regulation of conductivity in synapses and neuro-muscular connections, participates in the contractile activity of skeletal and smooth muscles, and is an essential component of blood clotting. Calcium is represented in the product by carbonate and citrate salts. Calcium carbonate contains the maximum amount of elemental calcium. Calcium citrate reduces dependence of calcium bioavailability on state of gastrointestinal mucosa, prevents concrements formation in urinary system even in case of long-term use, reduces excessive production of parathormone.

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) contributes to the adequate absorption of calcium, is involved in the process of regeneration and building bone tissue.
Zinc is an integral component of various body enzymes (over 200 species), which synthesize proteins and nucleic acids. It also ensures gene expression, regeneration and growth of cells. It positively influences the activity of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase.

Manganese promotes the synthesis of substances that are components of bone and cartilage tissue (glycosaminoglycans). Potentiates the calcium-saving ability of vitamin D.

Copper is involved in the formation of elastin, collagen. It helps to stop the phenomenon of demineralization of bone structures.
Boron normalizes the activity of hormone of the parathyroid gland – parathormone. The latter is involved in the metabolism of calcium, cholecalciferol, phosphorus and magnesium. Effect on mineral metabolism of parathormone does not depend on the intake of vitamin D3.

Indications

Bone fractures, bone fragility, osteoporosis

• Prevention and complex treatment of osteoporosis of different genesis:
• For the compensation of calcium and trace element deficiency in adolescents, women during pregnancy and lactation.

Interaction

The toxicity of vitamin D3 is reduced with concomitant use of Calcemin with vitamin A. Phenytoin, barbiturates, GCS reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D3.

Laxatives decrease absorption of vitamin D3. GCS, hormonal contraceptives for systemic use, levothyroxine impair absorption of calcium ions. In case of concomitant use of tetracyclines the interval between doses should be at least 3 hours, bisphosphonates and sodium fluoride (their absorption is impaired) – at least 2 hours.

In concurrent usage of Calcemin preparation with cardiac glycosides toxicity increase (ECG and clinical state control is necessary), with thiazide diuretics – the risk of hypercalcaemia increase, with furosemide and other loop diuretics – calcium excretion by kidneys increase. Calcemin should not be used simultaneously with calcium channel blockers. It is not recommended to use in combination with antacids containing aluminum due to decrease of their effectiveness.

.

Special Instructions

The dose should not exceed the one indicated in the instructions because increased calcium intake may inhibit the absorption of iron, zinc, and other essential minerals in the intestine.

Synopsis

Complex of calcium, vitamin D3 and minerals
Calcemin (1) is a preparation of calcium, vitamin D3 and minerals for the prevention of bone fragility and comprehensive treatment of osteoporosis.
With age calcium is washed out of bones and they become fragile.
Unlike other calcium preparations (2), Calcemin contains special minerals (zinc, manganese, copper and boron) for formation of collagen mesh, which retains calcium in bone tissue and prevents its leaching.
In addition, Calcemin is suitable for pregnant women and children from 5 years old.
Calcemin is used:
– for the prevention and comprehensive treatment of osteoporosis
– to compensate for calcium and trace elements in children, adolescents and women during pregnancy and lactation
Calcemin to keep bones strong!

1. Consult a specialist before using.
2. In the ATC group: A12AX (Calcium preparations in combination with other drugs.)

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the drug, hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, nephrolthiasis, vitamin D3 hypervitaminosis, severe renal insufficiency, active tuberculosis, decalcifying tumors (myeloma, bone metastases, sarcoidosis), children under 5 years old.

With caution:

Benign granulomatosis, administration of cardiac glycosides and thiazide diuretics, pregnancy, period of lactation.

.

Overdose

Vitamin D hypervitaminosis, hypercalcemia, and hypercalciuria.

Symptoms: decreased appetite, thirst, polyuria, dizziness, fainting, constipation, nausea and vomiting. With prolonged use of excessive doses, calcinosis of joints and tissues. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the dose or stop using the drug.

In case of accidental overdose, vomiting should be induced, gastric lavage. The therapy is symptomatic.
