CIDOCAL
Overview:
CIDOCAL is a therapeutic combination of Calcium Carbonate (a calcium salt) and Calcitriol (active Vitamin D3), designed to support bone health and correct calcium and Vitamin D deficiencies. Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth, while Calcitriol helps to increase calcium absorption from the intestines and regulate calcium levels in the blood. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients with conditions like osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, or those who are at risk for bone loss due to calcium or Vitamin D deficiencies. The synergistic action of Calcium and Calcitriol helps maintain optimal bone mineral density and supports overall skeletal health.

Dietary supplement
1-2 tablets daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the doctor’s recommendation.
- Osteoporosis: To prevent bone loss and increase bone strength in patients with low calcium levels.
- Hypocalcemia: For the treatment of low blood calcium levels, especially in patients with hypoparathyroidism or those undergoing long-term treatment with certain medications that affect calcium levels.
- Rickets and Osteomalacia: To treat or prevent bone softening caused by a deficiency of calcium and Vitamin D.
- Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: For bone health support in postmenopausal women with calcium deficiencies
Calcium Carbonate serves as a calcium source, replenishing calcium stores in the body, essential for bone formation, muscle function, and nerve conduction. Calcitriol, the active form of Vitamin D3, works by enhancing the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, regulating calcium release from bones, and maintaining calcium homeostasis in the body. This dual action ensures that calcium is both available in the bloodstream and properly utilized in bone mineralization, improving overall bone density and skeletal strength.
