The preparation "Calcemin": instructions for use, composition, contraindications

There are a lot of different information about the needs of the human body in calcium today. We are constantly explained that the use of dairy products will certainly save you from such troubles as fragility of bones, loss of teeth and hair. However, to achieve full satisfaction of the body's need for calcium only by including milk and its derivatives in the diet, unfortunately, will not succeed. Doctors prescribe to their patients, especially those nursing or pregnant women and the elderly, special preparations, among which there is "Calcemin". The instruction for the use of this complex assumes its regular use.

"Calceminum" - vitamins or ...?

Due to the high degree of employment, doctors rarely explain the substance of the drugs. As a result of the lack of the slightest education in the field of pharmacology, patients include in the concept vitamins "Calcemin". However, the name of the specified tool is an error. "Calcium" refers to the regulators of calcium-phosphorus metabolism in the human body, so it could be called a mineral complex. However, to ensure the maximum absorption of minerals included in the "Calcemin", its composition was supplemented with vitamin "D3". Thus, "Calcemin" should be referred to only as a vitamin-mineral complex, and not vitamins.

Calcemin: instructions for use

The drug is prescribed to patients as a preventive or therapeutic agent. Particularly need people with vitamin-mineral complex, suffering from osteoporosis, violations of calcium-phosphorus metabolism after pregnancy and childbirth, during the lactation period, as well as fractures and other conditions, accompanied by a deficiency of this trace element. Minerals and vitamins "Calcemin" are also prescribed for children, the elderly and adolescents. The doctor carefully studies the patient's history and development before issuing the prescription.

Are there any contraindications?

Do not believe someone who says that the drug, even the vitamin-mineral complex, has no contraindications. There are they at all agents developed in laboratory conditions. It should not be forgotten that the tablet "Calcemin", whose composition includes several minerals at once, contains a shock dose of active substances. This is its useful property for some patients, turns into the cause of contra-indications for others. Do not take the drug if you have urolithiasis in a person. In addition, adverse reactions may occur in people sensitive to components of "Calcemin". Instructions to the drug should contain an indication of symptoms of an overdose.

Exceeding the established doses is accompanied by:

• Bloating;
• Constipation and nausea;
• Salt deposits in the kidneys;

In addition, uncontrolled reception complex can provoke the development of anemia, impede the full absorption of copper, zinc and other minerals and vitamins.

The order of reception of a vitamin-mineral complex

Doctors prescribe to patients certain doses of "Calcemin". The instruction also contains information on the dosage, however, only the physician determines the specific amount and frequency of the administration. Typically, the drug is prescribed one tablet for babies from five to twelve years and two tablets for the elderly. If necessary, the doctor can increase or decrease the dosage. Independently change the order and frequency of reception is strictly prohibited! Especially the requirement of supervision by the doctor behind reception "Кальцемин" it is necessary to be observed in relation to small children. It happens that the "caring" mothers themselves begin to give the baby pills. Many of them sincerely believe that there will be no harm from such a decision. However, severe forms of urolithiasis are known in very young children, caused precisely by such "care" of their parents.
