FAQs

Q. Is Cal G 50mg Injection good for health?

When your body has a calcium deficiency, it fulfills that need by using the calcium present in your bones, thereby weakening them. Cal G 50mg Injection prevents this weakening of bones by supplementing your body with the amount of calcium it needs to keep the bones strong and prevent any bone disorders.

Q. When should you not use Cal G 50mg Injection?

This medicine should not be given if you already have high calcium levels in your blood. Your doctor will advise you to get a blood test done before starting your treatment with Cal G 50mg Injection.

Q. Can excess calcium be harmful?

If you take calcium supplements and eat calcium-rich/fortified foods, you may be getting more calcium than you realize. Excess calcium can cause bloating, constipation, a chalky taste in your mouth, and an increased risk of kidney stones, prostate cancer, and heart disease.

Q. How much calcium do I need?

According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of calcium depends on age. The recommended dietary allowance of calcium for Indian adults is 600 mg whereas, for pregnant and lactating women, it is 1,200 mg. In case of any doubts consult your doctor.

Q. Can I take antacid along with Cal G 50mg Injection?

It is advisable to avoid taking antacids containing calcium along with Cal G 50mg Injection. Give a gap of atleast 2 hours between the medications.

Q. Can I take antibiotics with Cal G 50mg Injection?

Avoid taking antibiotics along with this medicine since it can make it harder for your body to absorb other medicines you take by mouth.

Q. Can Cal G 50mg Injection be used during breastfeeding?

Cal G 50mg Injection contains calcium gluconate and is excreted in human milk. Breastfeeding by a mother taking this medicine is not expected to harm an infant, provided maternal serum calcium levels are appropriately monitored.

Q. Why do you need calcium?

We all know that calcium plays an important role in maintaining strong bones and building strong teeth. This essential mineral also facilitates nerve signal transmission, helps in blood clotting, and aids in the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Since most of the calcium you obtain from your diet gets stored in bones and teeth, lack of this mineral can impair your bone health and up the risk of osteoporosis. This is the reason, you must fulfill your daily needs of calcium to keep your bones healthy and to maintain your overall well-being.

Q. What to do if you have low calcium levels?

Based on your calcium blood test reports, your doctor may advise you to increase your intake of foods rich in calcium. Foods that are rich in calcium include dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, oranges, and foods that have added calcium like breakfast cereals, soymilk, bread. In cases of severe calcium deficiency, calcium supplements might be prescribed. Remember that calcium supplements should always be taken as per your doctor’s advice.
