Pharmacological action

Combined preparation, regulates the exchange of calcium and phosphorus in the body (bone, teeth, nails, hair, muscle).

Reduces resorption (resolution) and increases bone density, remedy the lack of calcium and vitamin D3 body, required for mineralization of teeth.

Calcium is involved in the regulation of nerve conduction, muscle contractions and is a component of the blood coagulation system.

Vitamin D3 (Kolekaltsiferol) increases intestinal calcium absorption.

The use of calcium and vitamin D3 prevents an increase in production of parathyroid hormone, which is a stimulator of bone resorption increased (leaching of calcium from the bones).

Pharmacokinetics

Vitamin D3 absorbed in the lower intestine.

Calcium absorbed in ionised form in the proximal part of the small intestine by active vitamin D-dependent transport mechanism.

In applying the drug Calcium-D3 Nycomed in patients, receiving cardiac glycosides and / or diuretics, necessary to control the concentration of calcium and creatinine in blood serum.

In case of high calcium concentration or serum creatinine, and in case of exceeding hypercalciuria 7.5 mg / day (300 mg / day) It should reduce the dose or temporarily discontinue treatment.

To avoid overdose should take into account the additional intake of vitamin D3 from other sources.

Reception food, containing oxalates (sorrel, spinach) and phytin (Cereals) reduces the absorption of calcium, therefore should not be taken Calcium-D3 Nycomed for 2 h after administration of sorrel, spinach, croup.

Calcium-D3 Nycomed should be used with caution in immobilized patients with osteoporosis due to the risk of hypercalcemia.

Overdose

Symptoms: anorexia, thirst, polyuria, decreased appetite, dizziness, fainting, weakness, nausea, vomiting, hypercalciuria, hypercalcemia, giperkreatininemiя; при длительном применении в избыточных дозах – кальциноз сосудов и тканей.

Treatment: immediately remove the drug. It is recommended that the administration of a large amount of liquid, применение “петлевых” диуретиков (eg, furosemida), GCS, Calcitonin, ʙisfosfonatov.

While the use of bisphosphonates or sodium fluoride may reduce absorption, so it is recommended to take Calcium-D3 Nycomed not earlier, than 2 hours after these medicines.
