Product introduction

Kalen D3 Softgel Capsule is used to treat vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis. It helps the body absorb calcium, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones. It is used when the diet does not provide enough.

Kalen D3 Softgel Capsule should be taken as directed by your doctor. It is best taken with or after food as this helps your body absorb it, and you should take it regularly to get the most benefit. If you are using it to treat osteoporosis, you will also be prescribed other medicines. This medicine may be only part of a complete treatment program that includes making changes to your diet and taking calcium and vitamin supplements. Learn about the foods you should eat to ensure you get enough calcium and vitamin D.

Kalen D3 Softgel Capsule has few side effects, and none are common. If you take too much, you may feel weakness, muscle pain, or a metallic taste in your mouth. If you experience any such side effects, speak with your doctor. They may be able to help you reduce or treat the symptoms.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have high calcium levels in your blood or if you have any heart, kidney, or liver disease. Some other medicines can decrease the absorption of vitamin D3, so let your doctor know all other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. This medicine may help during pregnancy when your body needs more vitamin D, but too much could harm your baby. Discuss with your doctor.


Uses of Kalen D3 Soft Gelatin Capsule

Benefits of Kalen D3 Soft Gelatin Capsule

In Treatment of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body. If you do not have enough calcium, it can damage your bones. Vitamin D will help keep your bones strong and healthy and reduce the risk of them becoming weak and more likely to break.

Regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption can help improve bone strength.

In Treatment of Vitamin D deficiency

Normally, your body creates vitamin D from sunlight, but if you do not have enough, you will be prescribed this medicine as a supplement. It is important to keep taking it regularly to get the benefits. You may not notice it working, but keep taking it to protect your bones. Additionally, it can boost your immunity and increase the body's resistance against various infections.
