Biocod-M Capsule

Introduction

Biocod-M is a medication that combines several active ingredients to provide comprehensive support for bone health and overall well-being. It contains Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate, Omega-3 fatty acid, Methylcobalamin, Folic Acid, and Boron.

Uses

Biocod-M is primarily prescribed to individuals with conditions related to calcium and vitamin D deficiency. It is commonly used in the management of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. Additionally, this medication may be recommended for individuals with low calcium levels due to certain medical conditions or as a supplement during pregnancy and lactation.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Biocod-M may vary depending on the individual’s specific needs and the severity of the condition being treated. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dose for adults is one capsule taken orally once daily, preferably with a meal or as directed by your doctor.

Mechanism of Action

Calcitriol, one of the active ingredients in Biocod-M, helps the body absorb calcium from the diet, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones. Calcium Carbonate provides supplemental calcium to support bone strength. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to overall well-being by supporting heart health. Methylcobalamin and Folic Acid play a crucial role in the formation of red blood cells and nerve function. Boron is involved in bone metabolism and may help improve calcium and magnesium absorption.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions or high calcium levels. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Biocod-M may interact with certain medications, including certain antacids, corticosteroids, and medications that affect calcium metabolism. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products, to avoid potential interactions. They can provide guidance on any necessary adjustments to your medication regimen.

Precautions

Before taking Biocod-M, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (excessive vitamin D levels), or certain kidney conditions. Note that excessive intake of calcium or vitamin D supplements may have adverse effects. Your healthcare professional will assess your specific situation and determine if Biocod-M is appropriate for you.
