Calcet is used to treat and prevent calcium deficiency, support bone health, and may be recommended for individuals at risk of osteoporosis. It may also be used as a calcium supplement for those with inadequate dietary calcium intake.
Calcet provides elemental calcium, an essential mineral needed for bone formation, muscle function, nerve transmission, and various cellular processes. It works by replenishing calcium levels in the body when dietary intake is insufficient.
Take as directed by your healthcare provider. Some forms may interact with certain medications including antibiotics and thyroid drugs. Space doses at least 2 hours apart from other medications.
