Managing the Side Effects:

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

Cipcal Syrup contains two active ingredients:

Elemental Calcium (250 mg): This mineral plays a crucial role in various bodily functions like bone formation and maintenance, muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and blood clotting. When calcium levels are low in the body, elemental calcium helps maintain necessary levels in the blood, bones and soft tissues.
Vitamin D3 (125 IU): Also known as cholecalciferol, this vitamin enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines into the bloodstream. It regulates calcium and phosphate levels in the body by reducing their excretion by the kidneys. Additionally, it mobilises calcium from the bones when needed.

Pregnancy

Advised to take Cipcal Syrup during pregnancy after consulting with your doctor.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's recommended to discuss with your doctor before starting on Cipcal Syrup.

Alcohol

There's no known interaction between alcohol and Cipcal Syrup. However, it's always good to consult your doctor for advice on this.

Cipcal Syrup can be taken if you have liver health issues. But, remember to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Using Cipcal Syrup in children should be under medical supervision. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cipcal Syrup interacts with the following medicines:

Bisphosphonates: Medicines such as alendronic acid or risedronic acid may have reduced absorption due to calcium present in Cipcal Syrup.
Antibiotics (Tetracyclines, Quinolones): Antibiotics like doxycycline or ciprofloxacin may be less effective if taken alongside Cipcal Syrup due to decreased absorption.
Levothyroxine: This thyroid hormone replacement medication may have reduced absorption when taken with Cipcal Syrup.

Spinach: High in oxalates, spinach can reduce calcium absorption from Cipcal Syrup.

Hypercalcemia: Patients with high blood calcium levels should use Cipcal Syrup cautiously as it could raise their calcium levels further.
Severe Renal Impairment: Those suffering from severe kidney problems should consult a doctor before using Cipcal Syrup, as they might need dose adjustment or monitoring.

This decision will consider various individual factors such as the severity of your condition and how your body responds to the medication. It is crucial to adhere to the dosage prescribed and not to exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Do not expose the bottle to direct sunlight.
Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
