Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Maxical-500 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Maxical-500 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Elemental Calcium (500 mg): This vital mineral replenishes low blood calcium levels and provides the building blocks for bone mineralisation. Bone mineralisation is a process where minerals are deposited in the bone tissue, making them stronger and healthier.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (250 IU): In the body, Vitamin D3 is converted to its active form called calcitriol. Calcitriol plays a crucial role in increasing intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus nutrients essential for bone health. It also reduces calcium excretion by the kidneys, thereby ensuring that adequate amounts of calcium stay in the body.

Together, these components help optimise bone health and prevent disorders related to their deficiency.
