✅ Description:
Ostimet 500mg Tablet is indicated for the prevention or treatment of low blood calcium levels in individuals who do not obtain sufficient calcium from their diets. It is commonly used to address conditions arising from low calcium levels, including:
- Osteoporosis: A condition characterized by bone loss, leading to weakened bones.
- Osteomalacia/Rickets: Conditions that result in weak bones, often due to a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium.
- Hypoparathyroidism: Decreased activity of the parathyroid gland, which can affect calcium regulation in the body.
- Latent Tetany: A certain muscle disease associated with low calcium levels.
Additionally, Ostimet 500mg Tablet may be prescribed to ensure adequate calcium intake in specific populations:
- Pregnant Women: To support the increased calcium needs during pregnancy.
- Nursing Women: To provide sufficient calcium for breastfeeding.
- Postmenopausal Women: To maintain bone health during the postmenopausal period.
- People on Certain Medications: Such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone, which may interfere with calcium absorption.
Calcium is a crucial element for various bodily functions, including the normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscles, and bones. In cases where there is insufficient calcium in the blood, the body may extract calcium from the bones, leading to bone weakening. Adequate calcium levels are essential for the construction and maintenance of strong bones.

✔️ How does Ostimet 500mg Tablet work?
- Calcium carbonate can neutralize gastric acid rapidly and effectively.
- Adversely activates Ca-dependent processes, leading to the secretion of gastric and hydrochloric acid.
- Can induce rebound acid secretion.
- Prolonged high doses may cause hypercalcemia, alkalosis, and milk-alkali syndrome.
✔️ Side Effects of Ostimet 500mg Tablet
- Gastrointestinal irritation.
- Constipation.
- Rarely, hypercalcemia.
✔️ Quick Suggestions:
- Calcium Carbonate helps treat calcium deficiency.
- Do not take it within 1-2 hours of taking other medicines. Calcium may decrease the absorption of the other medicines.
- Do not take it within 2 hours of eating foods rich in oxalic acid (e.g. spinach), phosphate (e.g. bran), or phytic acid (e.g. whole cereals).
- Inform your doctor if you have problems with your kidneys.
✔️ Indication of Ostimet 500mg Tablet

- Hyperphosphatasemia in patients with chronic renal failure, undergoing hemodialysis, and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
- Acid indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach, upset stomach, and symptoms associated with hyperlipidemia.
✔️ Pharmacology
- Calcium carbonate reacts with stomach acid to produce salt and water.
- Chemical equation: CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2.
- Increases pH in the stomach, reducing pepsin's ability to inhibit gastric secretion.
- About 30% of orally taken calcium may be absorbed.
