Do not use if
Contraindicated in hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis, and known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.
Side effects

Warnings
Avoid exceeding the recommended daily intake. Use caution in patients with renal impairment due to risk of hypercalcemia. Keep supplements out of reach of children.
How it works
Calcium is essential for bone and teeth formation, muscle contraction, and nerve conduction. Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) undergoes hepatic and renal hydroxylation to form calcitriol, which promotes intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and regulates bone metabolism.
Storage
Store at 20–25°C (68–77°F) in a dry place. Moisture may discolor or erode tablets; keep the container tightly closed.
