Uses of Calcirol Injection

Benefits of Calcirol Injection

In Treatment of Calcium deficiency

Calcirol 600000IU Injection increases the levels of vitamin D in your blood which in turn helps in absorption of more calcium from your intestine. Calcium is a mineral found in different places in your body and has many functions including bone growth. Your heart, muscles, and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Additionally it can boost your immunity and increase the body resistance against various infection.

In Treatment of Post menopausal osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Calcirol 600000IU Injection helps in the absorption of more calcium from your intestine and slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone.

You can help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
