Tricium-XT Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Elemental Calcium (250 mg): Dissociates into calcium ions in your gut which are then absorbed mainly into the duodenum and upper jejunum parts of your intestines. Calcium plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining bones, regulating nerve and muscle function, as well as enabling hormone and enzyme secretion.

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (800 IU): This fat-soluble vitamin is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver and then to its active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the kidneys. This active form binds with receptors in various body tissues including small intestine and bones to increase calcium absorption, encourage bone mineralisation, and regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism.

• Store Tricium-XT Tablet below 30°C, in a cool and dry place.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Ensure the bottle cap is tightly closed after use.

• Keep Tricium-XT Tablet safely away from children's reach.

• Use the medicine before its expiry date to ensure effectiveness.

• Increase your intake of foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and fish. These can complement Tricium-XT Tablet's role in preventing and managing osteoporosis.

• Regular weight-bearing exercises, like walking or lifting weights, can help strengthen your bones. This pairs well with Tricium-XT Tablet's function in maintaining bone health.
