Hi-cal 1200mg/5ml syrup

Description:

Hi-cal 1200mg/5ml syrup is an oral calcium supplement containing calcium glubionate, designed to help correct and prevent calcium deficiency in children and adults. It supports healthy bone and teeth formation, assists in maintaining normal neuromuscular function, and helps meet increased calcium requirements during growth, pregnancy, lactation, and in individuals with low dietary calcium intake. Classified as a nutritional medicine and mineral supplement, Hi-cal syrup is suitable for patients who require a liquid form of calcium for easier swallowing and better dose adjustment.

Indications:

• Prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency states.
• Supportive therapy in osteoporosis and osteopenia as directed by a physician.
• Increased calcium requirements during periods of rapid growth in children and adolescents.
• Calcium supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding, under medical supervision.
• Adjunct in conditions associated with low serum calcium levels, such as hypocalcemia, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Support for healthy bone and teeth development in children with inadequate dietary calcium intake.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Calcium glubionate – 1200 mg per 5 ml syrup (provides elemental calcium; exact elemental calcium content per 5 ml is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as directed by your physician or pharmacist. The following are general guidance doses and may be adjusted by your healthcare provider.
• Adults: Typical dose is 5–10 ml once or twice daily, or as prescribed, preferably after meals.
• Children: Dose should be determined by the pediatrician according to age, weight, and degree of calcium deficiency. The syrup form allows easy dose adjustment in younger children.
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient.
• Measure the dose using a proper measuring spoon or cup to ensure accurate dosing; do not use household teaspoons.
• Can be taken with or after food to improve tolerance. Adequate vitamin d intake is important to enhance calcium absorption.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps increase and maintain normal serum calcium levels by acting on bone, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract.
• Supports bone mineralization and helps reduce bone demineralization, contributing to stronger bones and teeth.
• Assists in reducing osteoclastic bone resorption and mineral release from bone, helping to preserve bone density.
• Supports normal muscle contraction and nerve transmission, helping to reduce symptoms related to low calcium such as muscle cramps and tingling, when due to deficiency.
• Provides a convenient liquid calcium option for children, elderly patients, and individuals with difficulty swallowing tablets.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Hi-cal 1200mg/5ml syrup if you are allergic to calcium glubionate or any of the product’s excipients (inactive ingredients).

• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), or a history of calcium-containing kidney stones. Regular monitoring of calcium levels and kidney function may be required.
• Calcium supplements may interact with certain medications such as tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, bisphosphonates, levothyroxine, and some iron or zinc supplements by reducing their absorption. Separate dosing by at least 2 hours or as advised by your doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, sarcoidosis, or a history of kidney stones.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as constipation, bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort.
• Less commonly, nausea or vomiting may occur, especially at higher doses or in sensitive individuals.
• Long-term excessive intake may lead to hypercalcemia and/or kidney stone formation, particularly in predisposed patients.
