Pharmacology of Ostocal DX Tablet
This is the process for creating calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Numerous body functions, including bone growth and maintenance, depend on calcium.

When receiving medication with calcium and vitamin D, hypercalcemia may make cardiac glycosides more hazardous; therefore, keep an eye on your ECG and blood calcium levels. Digoxin, tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, or oxytetracycline may interact with it.
