Galcitrol Capsule 15 consists of three key active ingredients:

• Calcitriol/Cholecalciferol (0.25 mcg): This is an active form of vitamin D3 that promotes the absorption of calcium from the intestines and encourages bone mineralisation. It also helps regulate levels of parathyroid hormone, which plays a vital role in maintaining proper bone structure.

• Calcium Carbonate (500 mg): As a calcium supplement, it breaks down into calcium and carbonate in your stomach's acidic environment. The released calcium is then absorbed by your body for various physiological functions, including bone health.

• Zinc (7.5 mg): This essential mineral supports bone metabolism, immune function, and wound healing. It enhances the activity of vitamin D and promotes bone mineralisation processes as well.

• Store Galcitrol Capsule 15 at a room temperature of 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• To support bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, ensure you include calcium-rich foods in your diet, such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals.

• Engage in weight-bearing exercises like walking or yoga regularly. This can help strengthen your bones and decrease the chances of developing conditions such as osteoporosis which are managed by Galcitrol Capsule 15.
