BARRO-CT is the fusion of various compositions of Calcium Citrate, Elemental Calcium And Calcitriol tablets which is a combo medicine intended to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in patients who do not consume enough calcium from their daily diet. Even sometimes some individuals’ bodies are not able to absorb the calcium from the food.
Calcium Citrate is used to treat problems caused by low calcium levels, such as bone loss, weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), reduced parathyroid gland function, and a specific muscle ailment (latent tetany). Calcium citrate is used to treat osteoporosis and primarily fulfils the body’s calcium requirements. Elemental calcium is the quantity of calcium that the body actually uses. Consumers should look at the quantity of elemental calcium in each tablet of a supplement rather than the strength of each tablet, which includes additional components.
Elemental calcium is used to treat low calcium levels in the blood. It is beneficial in treating a variety of illnesses caused by low calcium levels in the body, including Vitamin D insufficiency, osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, latent tetany, and rickets or osteomalacia. Calcitriol is used to treat and prevent low calcium levels and bone damage in people whose kidneys or parathyroid glands are malfunctioning. Vitamin D’s active form is calcitriol. It increases the amount of Vitamin D in your blood. This, in turn, boosts calcium levels in the blood by boosting calcium absorption from the gut.
In this way, Calcium Citrate, Elemental Calcium And Calcitriol tablets treat calcium deficiency in the blood.
Taking calcium at night has no effect on sleep, but it may impair the efficiency of another vitamin, magnesium, which improves relaxation and is frequently advised to be taken at night. It is a good thing to take magnesium before going to bed since it can aid sleep.
Do not take this medicine if the patient is already facing a high amount of calcium. And also too much calcium in the blood can damage your bones, cause kidney stones, and disrupt the function of your heart and brain. Hypercalcemia is often caused by hyperactive parathyroid glands.
Notify the doctor right away if you experience any of the following unlikely but serious side effects: nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, unusual weight loss, mental/mood changes, signs of kidney problems, bone/muscle pain, headache, increased thirst, increased urination, weakness, tiredness, fasting.
