Areas of use: • To prevent calcium deficiency when there is an increased need (e.g. growth period, pregnancy, breastfeeding). • To support the treatment of osteoporosis.

Do not use if: The medicine must not be used in the following cases: • Hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients of the medicine • Hypercalcaemia,
e.g. as a result of primary hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D overdose, paraneoplastic syndromes (bronchial carcinoma, breast carcinoma, hypernephroma, plasmacytoma),
bone metastases, sarcoidosis, Boeck’s disease, immobilization osteoporosis. The medicine should only be used with constant monitoring of calcium and phosphate concentrations in the blood and
urine in the following cases: • Renal insufficiency
• Absorptive or renal hypercalciuria
• Nephrocalcinosis
• Calcium kidney stones
• Hypophosphataemia.

Absorptive hypercalciuria should be ruled out in patients with a family history of calcium-containing kidney stones.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There are no reports of harmful effects of calcium during pregnancy and breastfeeding in humans.

Application: The recommended dose is 500-1000 mg of calcium daily, corresponding to 1 effervescent tablet 1-2 times a day.
Type and duration of application:
• The effervescent tablets are dissolved in a glass of water and drunk immediately after dissolving.
Any clouding of the solution does not affect its effectiveness.
• It can be taken with food or between meals.
• Treatment of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis is long-term.
Their duration depends on the therapeutic goal being pursued. Notes:
• The absorption and thus the effectiveness of tetracyclines, cefpodoxime axetil, ketoconazole, quinolones such as ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin, iron,
fluoride and estramustine preparations is reduced by the simultaneous intake of calcium preparations.

There should therefore be an interval of at least 2 hours between taking calcium-containing medicines and taking such preparations.
