Indication: CALCINATE is used for calcium deficiency in elderly men and women, during and after menopause, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dosage: Two tablets daily (or one tablet twice daily) before or with the meal, with water. Swallow without chewing. Or as directed by the physician. Benefits of calcium: Calcium is used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets. It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones, decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium (e.g., women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone). Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for the normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscles, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones. Having the right amount of calcium is important for building and keeping strong bones
