Calcium Citrate Malate, Calcitriol

Calcium Citrate Malate and Calcitriol is a combination medication used to treat and prevent low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia). It consists of two components: Calcium Citrate Malate, a form of calcium, and Calcitriol, a form of vitamin D.
Calcium is an essential mineral necessary for the growth and maintenance of strong bones. It also plays a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. Calcitriol, on the other hand, is the active form of vitamin D, which aids in calcium absorption from the gut and helps maintain adequate calcium levels in the blood.
This medication is typically prescribed for individuals who have difficulty absorbing calcium, such as those with certain gastrointestinal disorders or who undergo intestinal surgery. It is also used in patients with kidney stones, as calcium citrate malate is less likely to cause stone formation compared to other calcium salts.
Calcium Citrate Malate and Calcitriol should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, with dosages adjusted according to individual needs. Regular monitoring of calcium and vitamin D levels in the blood is necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Follow the recommended dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D to support bone health. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and fortified foods, while vitamin D can be obtained through sunlight exposure and a balanced diet with fatty fish, eggs, and fortified foods.
