Calshine P Drops contain Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (800 IU) and its effect on the body is as follows:

• Creation of Active Vitamin D: Once ingested, cholecalciferol undergoes two transformations in the liver and kidneys, eventually forming 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which is the active form of Vitamin D.
• Increased Absorption of Minerals: The active form of Vitamin D acts on the small intestine and increases absorption of calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are essential for bone health.
• Regulation of Calcium Levels: Along with parathyroid hormone, active Vitamin D helps in mobilising calcium from bones when necessary and promotes calcium reabsorption by kidneys. This process ensures that serum calcium and phosphate levels remain adequate for normal bone mineralisation and other vital body functions.

• Store Calshine P Drops at room temperature not exceeding 25°C.
• Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.
• Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep this product out of reach of children.

• Make sure your child has an adequate intake of calcium-rich food. This includes milk, green leafy vegetables and calcium-fortified foods. This will help manage vitamin D deficiency, which Calshine P Drops is given for.
• If your child spends most of their time indoors, try to encourage some outdoor playtime in sunlight, as it helps the body produce Vitamin D naturally.
