Therapeutic Class

• Mineral & Vitamin Supplement

• Bone Health & Osteoporosis Support

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Eggshell Calcium – 500 mg

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) – 200 IU

This combination ensures adequate calcium intake and improves calcium absorption in the body.

Indications

Eggcal-D Tablet is indicated for:

• Prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency in adults and elderly

• Osteoporosis and osteopenia

• Support for bone health in postmenopausal women

• Rickets or osteomalacia prevention

• Calcium supplementation during periods of increased demand, such as pregnancy and lactation

• Adjunct therapy in patients with low dietary calcium intake

It is suitable for individuals who may not meet their daily calcium requirements through diet alone.

Pharmacology

Calcium is a critical mineral required for:

• Bone and teeth formation

• Muscle contraction

• Blood clotting

• Nerve signaling

Calcium from eggshell is highly bioavailable and provides elemental calcium for metabolic functions.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) facilitates:

• Absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestines

• Regulation of bone mineralization

• Maintenance of serum calcium and phosphate levels within normal range

Together, Eggcal-D Tablet ensures proper calcium utilization, reduces the risk of bone demineralization, and helps maintain healthy skeletal structure.

Dosage & Administration

• Adults: 1–2 tablets daily with meals, or as directed by a physician

• Elderly or postmenopausal women: 1–2 tablets daily, preferably with breakfast or lunch for optimal absorption

• Take with water to aid in digestion and absorption.

• Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not crush.

The dosage may vary depending on dietary calcium intake and specific patient needs.

Drug Interactions

• Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum may reduce calcium absorption.

• Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones) may form insoluble complexes with calcium, reducing absorption.

• Thyroid supplements and bisphosphonates should be taken at separate times to avoid interference with absorption.
