Reef-D Vita 600 mg+400 IU Tablet
Calcium is vital for a range of body functions, particularly in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones. A deficiency in calcium leads to osteoporosis and other bone-related issues. Calcium is essential for regulating muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.
Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates bone formation. Vitamin D is crucial in preventing osteomalacia and osteoporosis, and together with calcium, they provide synergistic effects in strengthening bones and preventing fractures.
- Coral Calcium is often used in Reef-D Vita because it has a structure similar to human bone, which enhances absorption compared to other sources of calcium.
- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) ensures optimal calcium absorption and maintains calcium balance in the body.

✅ Description:
Reef-D Vita Tablet is primarily indicated for:
- Osteoporosis: For both treatment and prevention, helping to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
- Osteomalacia: A condition involving weakened bones due to calcium or vitamin D deficiency.
- Tetany: A condition characterized by muscle spasms, often due to calcium imbalance.
- Hypoparathyroidism: A disorder where the parathyroid glands do not produce enough hormone, affecting calcium regulation.
- Disorders of Osteogenesis: Conditions affecting bone formation and growth, such as osteogenesis imperfecta.
Other uses include:
- Supplementation in cases of inadequate calcium intake, such as in children’s diets, rickets, pregnancy and lactation, and elderly patients.
- It may also be used for pancreatitis and as a phosphate binder in chronic renal failure.

✔️ Composition
Each tablet contains:
- Calcium Carbonate (Coral Source): 1250 mg, providing 500 mg of elemental calcium.
- Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol): 200 IU.
For a higher dose, the DX tablet contains:
- Calcium Carbonate: 1500 mg (providing 600 mg of elemental calcium).
- Vitamin D: 400 IU.
Additionally, effervescent tablets also contain Calcium Carbonate (Coral source) 1500 mg (600 mg of elemental calcium), and Vitamin D3 400 IU.
✔️ Overdose may lead to hypervitaminosis D and hypercalcemia, with symptoms like:
- Nausea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain.
- Muscle weakness, fatigue, mental disturbances.
- Severe cases may cause kidney damage, arrhythmias, and even coma.
In cases of overdose, immediate discontinuation of calcium and vitamin D supplements is necessary. Treatments include rehydration, discontinuing certain medications, and possibly using diuretics, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, or corticosteroids, depending on the severity of symptoms.
✔️ Side Effects
- Gastrointestinal Irritation: Calcium Carbonate may cause GI irritation or constipation.
- Hypercalcemia: Rare, but can occur with excessive doses, especially in people with chronic renal failure.
- Allergic Reactions: Skin rash, irregular heartbeats, nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness.
- Vitamin D Side Effects: Rashes may appear due to vitamin D supplements.
✔️ Dosage & Administration
- Regular Tablets: Take one tablet once or twice daily with plenty of water, preferably after meals for better absorption.
- Effervescent Tablets: Dissolve 1 effervescent tablet in a glass of water, stir, and drink. Taking it with food ensures better absorption.
The dosage should be followed as per a physician’s guidance.
✔️ Drug Interactions
- Thiazide Diuretics: Reduce calcium excretion in urine, so it increases the risk of hypercalcemia. Regular monitoring of serum calcium is necessary when used together.
- Systemic Corticosteroids: Reduce calcium absorption, requiring possibly higher calcium doses.
- Ion Exchange Resins (Cholestyramine) and Laxatives (Paraffin Oil): Can reduce Vitamin D absorption.
- Tetracyclines: Calcium may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. To avoid this, take tetracyclines 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after calcium.
- Cardiac Glycosides: Hypercalcemia may increase the toxicity of cardiac glycosides, so regular monitoring of ECG and serum calcium levels is necessary.
- Bisphosphonates & Sodium Fluoride: Take Reef-D Vita at least 3 hours before these medications to avoid reduced absorption of calcium.
- Oxalic and Phytic Acids: Found in foods like spinach and whole cereals, these acids can inhibit calcium absorption. Avoid calcium supplements for 2 hours after consuming these foods.
✔️ Contraindications
- Hypercalcemia: Excessive calcium levels in the blood.
- Hyperparathyroidism: Overactive parathyroid glands leading to high calcium levels.
- Hypercalciuria and Nephrolithiasis: High calcium in urine or kidney stones.
- Severe Renal Insufficiency: Impaired kidney function.
- Hypersensitivity: Allergic reactions to any component of the product.
- Concomitant Digoxin Therapy: Needs careful monitoring due to the risk of calcium-related toxicity.
✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation
- Pregnancy: Daily intake should not exceed 1500 mg of calcium and 600 IU of Vitamin D. High doses can cause permanent hypercalcemia, adversely affecting fetal development.
- Lactation: Reef-D Vita can be used during breastfeeding. Both calcium and vitamin D pass into breast milk, so care should be taken when supplementing the infant.
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
- Serum Calcium Monitoring: Long-term use should be monitored for calcium levels and renal function.
- Renal Function: Caution in those with impaired kidney function, as it may increase the risk of soft tissue calcification or renal damage.
- Sarcoidosis: Increased metabolism of Vitamin D may occur in these patients, requiring frequent monitoring of serum calcium and urinary calcium excretion.
- Immobilized Osteoporosis Patients: There’s a risk of hypercalcemia in immobile patients.
✔️ Storage Conditions
- Store at below 30°C.
- Protect from light and moisture.
- Keep out of the reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
