Taking Calgel K2-7 Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Gastrointestinal discomfort
Hypercalcemia

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Calgel K2-7 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are a couple of ways you can manage the common side effects:

Gastrointestinal discomfort: Try taking Calgel K2-7 Capsule with food to lessen this effect.
Hypercalcemia: If you're taking this medicine and find out that your calcium levels are high, it's important to talk to your doctor right away. They may suggest adjusting your dose or changing your diet.

Calgel K2-7 Capsule comprises three active ingredients:

Calcitriol (0.25 mcg): This form of Vitamin D3 boosts the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in your intestines, promoting bone mineralisation and remodelling. Vitamin D3 is crucial for your body to effectively use calcium.
Calcium Carbonate (1250 mg): Calcium is a key mineral in our bones. The highly absorbable calcium carbonate ensures that bone mineral density is maintained and bone loss prevented. Additionally, it supports various cellular functions and muscle contractions.
Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone 7) (45 mcg): Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix. It directs calcium towards the bones instead of soft tissues, thereby promoting bone mineralisation while reducing the risk of arterial calcification.

Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, caution is advised while taking Calgel K2-7 Capsule. It's best to discuss your situation with your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

As a breastfeeding mother, be cautious when using Calgel K2-7 Capsule. Always check with your doctor regarding the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

It's always a good idea to avoid or limit alcohol consumption when on this medication.

Liver

If you have any liver issues, make sure to discuss them with your doctor before you begin taking Calgel K2-7 Capsule. This medicine could affect liver function.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, it's important to consult your doctor before starting Calgel K2-7 Capsule.

Children

The dosage may vary depending on factors such as the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting them.

Over Dose

Taking more than the prescribed dose of Calgel K2-7 Capsule may lead to symptoms like gastrointestinal discomfort or high blood calcium levels (hypercalcaemia). If you suspect you've taken too much, inform your doctor promptly.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your scheduled dose of Calgel K2-7 Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not increase your dosage without speaking to your doctor.
