To get the most out of Gemcal Suspension, follow these steps:

• Shake the bottle well before use to ensure a uniform consistency.

• Measure the exact quantity recommended by your doctor using a spoon or cup. This ensures accurate dosing.

• If you're uncertain about any aspect of using Gemcal Suspension, don't hesitate to consult your doctor.

Gemcal Suspension is taken orally.

Gemcal Suspension contains two active ingredients:

• Calcitriol/Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) (0.0625 mcg): Vitamin D in Gemcal Suspension gets converted into its active form calcitriol in your body. Calcitriol increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from your intestines and helps mobilise more calcium into your blood from bones.

• Elemental Calcium (100 mg): This ingredient provides a direct source of calcium necessary for various physiological processes such as building strong bones and teeth, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.

Together these two components maintain a healthy calcium balance in your body and help in mineralisation of bones.

• Store Gemcal Suspension at temperature not exceeding 30°C in a closed container.

• Place it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep the medicine out of children's reach.

• Use it within 1 month of opening.

• Eating foods rich in protein, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin K can support bone health alongside taking Gemcal Suspension.

• Limit intake of caffeine and alcohol as these can increase calcium loss through urine, which this medicine is specifically designed to manage. Consult your doctor for more specific dietary advice.
