Introduction
New Sunbless C is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Calcium, Calcitriol, Methylcobalamin, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B6. It is available in tablet form and is primarily used to support bone health and treat deficiencies of these essential nutrients.
Uses
New Sunbless C is commonly prescribed to manage conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and hypocalcemia. It helps in maintaining proper levels of calcium and vitamin D in the body, which are vital for healthy bones and teeth. Additionally, it aids in the production of red blood cells and supports nerve function.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of New Sunbless C may vary depending on the individual’s specific needs and the severity of the condition being treated. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. Generally, the tablet is taken orally with water, preferably after meals to enhance absorption. Do not crush or chew the tablet unless directed by your healthcare provider.
Mechanism of Action
New Sunbless C works by increasing the absorption of calcium from the intestines and promoting its deposition in bones. Calcitriol, a form of vitamin D, helps in regulating calcium levels in the body. Methylcobalamin and Vitamin B6 support nerve health and play a role in the synthesis of red blood cells. Folic Acid is essential for DNA synthesis and cell growth.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any persistent or severe side effects, consult your healthcare provider.
In rare cases, serious side effects such as allergic reactions, irregular heartbeat, or signs of high calcium levels (e.g., excessive thirst, frequent urination) may occur. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
New Sunbless C may interact with certain medications, including antacids, diuretics, and certain antibiotics. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. They can assess the potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
