Caltrate Plus D is used to prevent and treat calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. It supports bone health in individuals at risk for osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women, older adults, and those with limited dietary calcium intake. It may also be used as a supplement when dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D is insufficient.
Calcium is an essential mineral required for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and supports proper calcium utilization in the body. Together, these nutrients help maintain healthy bone mineral density and support overall bone health.
Caltrate Plus D is generally well-tolerated but may cause constipation or gas in some individuals. It should be taken with food for better absorption. Patients with kidney disease, hypercalcemia, or those taking certain medications should consult their healthcare provider before use. Do not take more than the recommended dose without medical advice, as excessive calcium intake can be harmful.
