Cavic-C Plus

Indications for Cavic-C Plus

Cavic-C Plus is recommended for:

• Osteoporosis treatment as an adjunct to specific therapy.
• Increased Calcium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D requirements during pregnancy, lactation, childhood growth, adolescence, and old age.
• Osteomalacia and Calcium/Vitamin D deficiency, especially in housebound or hospitalized elderly.
• Cold and flu prevention as an adjuvant.
• Relief from postmenopausal syndromes and premenstrual symptoms.
• High body temperature conditions.
• Acts as an alkalizing agent in cases of systemic acidosis.

Note: Always consult a registered healthcare professional before use.

Composition

Each effervescent tablet of Cavic-C Plus contains:

• Calcium Lactate Gluconate: 1000 mg
• Calcium Carbonate (from Coral source): 327 mg
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): 500 mg
• Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol): 400 IU

Pharmacology

Cavic-C Plus combines Calcium Gluconate and Calcium Carbonate (from Coral), which help maintain calcium balance in the body, supporting muscle, nerve, and cardiac functions. The Calcium Carbonate from Coral has a structure similar to human bone, promoting better absorption. Vitamin D3 facilitates the absorption of calcium from the GI tract, while Vitamin C enhances the body’s stress response and supports immunity. Together, they work synergistically for bone health, osteoporosis prevention, and promoting overall well-being.

Dosage & Administration

• Adults & Adolescents: 1 effervescent tablet daily.
• Children: ½ effervescent tablet daily.
• Infants: As prescribed by a physician.

Dissolve the tablet in a glass of water and consume.

Note: Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider.

Interactions

• Thiazide diuretics: May reduce urinary calcium excretion; monitor for hypercalcemia.
• Certain foods (e.g. oxalic acid, phosphate, phytinic acid): May decrease calcium absorption.
• Cardiac glycosides: Use caution as calcium and Vitamin D may enhance their effects.
• Phenytoin/Barbiturates: May reduce Vitamin D efficacy due to metabolic activation.

Contraindications

• Hypercalcemia due to conditions like myeloma, bone metastases, sarcoidosis, or primary hyperparathyroidism.
• Vitamin D overdosage and severe renal failure.
• Hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the product.

Side Effects

Possible mild side effects include:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances: Constipation, nausea, flatulence, and abdominal pain.
• Skin rash: Occasionally reported with Vitamin D use.
• Long-term use may cause hypercalciuria and in rare cases, hypercalcemia.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Use during pregnancy and lactation should be under a healthcare provider’s supervision. Calcium and Vitamin D needs increase during these periods, but excessive Vitamin D intake has been shown to have teratogenic effects in animals. Vitamin D and its metabolites are excreted in breast milk, so caution is advised when supplementing.

Precautions & Warnings

• Monitor plasma calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion in patients with mild renal failure or hypercalciuria.
• Renal stones history: Measure urinary calcium excretion to avoid hypercalciuria.
• Regular monitoring is necessary with long-term treatment to prevent complications like hypercalcemia.

Overdose Effects

• Acute/Chronic overdose may cause hypercalcemia due to Vitamin D toxicity.
• Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and polyuria.
• Treatment: Discontinue calcium and Vitamin D, hydrate, and manage symptoms.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Keep the container tightly closed.
