Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Metocal Vitamina D3 is used to address calcium and vitamin D pathways that are essential for bone metabolism.
  • Calcium deficiency: helps restore normal calcium levels and supports skeletal integrity.
  • Vitamin D deficiency: supplies cholecalciferol to improve vitamin D status and enhance calcium absorption.
  • Osteoporosis and osteomalacia: contributes to bone mineralization and may reduce fracture risk.
  • General nutritional supplementation: provides essential minerals and vitamins for overall health.

How It Works

  • Calcium carbonate dissociates in the gastrointestinal tract to release calcium ions that are incorporated into hydroxyapatite for bone mineralization. Cholecalciferol is absorbed and hydroxylated in the liver to 25‑hydroxyvitamin D, then in the kidney to the active 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D, which up‑regulates intestinal calcium transport proteins, enhancing calcium absorption and maintaining calcium homeostasis.

Side Effects

Metocal Vitamina D3 may cause adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels)
  • Constipation
  • Nausea or abdominal discomfort
  • Flatulence
  • Headache
  • Mild skin irritation

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hypercalcemia leading to cardiac arrhythmia
  • Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling
  • Kidney stones due to calcium precipitation
  • Hypervitaminosis D with symptoms of vomiting, weakness, and confusion

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions.
  • Assess calcium levels before use: verify baseline serum calcium.
  • Monitor vitamin D status: periodic testing may be needed.
  • Avoid in patients with hypercalcemia: risk of worsening calcium overload.
  • Caution in renal impairment: reduced excretion may increase calcium levels.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Metocal Vitamina D3 can interact with other medicines; awareness of potential interactions helps ensure safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Thiazide diuretics: may increase risk of hypercalcemia.
  • Excess vitamin A intake: combined effect can lead to hypervitaminosis D.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Loop diuretics: may affect calcium excretion.
  • Corticosteroids: may reduce calcium absorption.
  • Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: may interfere with calcium absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metocal Vitamina D3 is used as a nutritional supplement to prevent or treat calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, support bone health, and aid in conditions such as osteoporosis or osteomalacia.

Calcium carbonate provides bioavailable calcium ions needed for bone mineralization, while cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is converted in the body to its active form, which enhances intestinal calcium absorption and helps regulate calcium balance.

The appropriate dose is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, clinical condition, laboratory results, and overall nutritional needs.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before using Metocal Vitamina D3, as the prescriber will evaluate the risk‑benefit profile and may adjust the dosage or recommend alternative supplementation.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Metocal Vitamina D3 combines calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol in a single oral powder, offering both mineral and vitamin D in one formulation. Compared with separate calcium tablets or vitamin D capsules, it simplifies dosing and may improve adherence, while providing comparable bioavailability.

Store the powder at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, and strong odors to maintain product stability.

The product is supplied as an oral powder. It should be measured according to the prescriber’s instructions and mixed with a suitable amount of water or other non‑carbonated beverage before ingestion.

Serious risks include hypercalcemia, which can cause cardiac arrhythmias, kidney stones, and neurological symptoms, as well as rare allergic reactions. Patients should be monitored for signs of elevated calcium levels, especially if they have underlying disorders.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to calcium carbonate, cholecalciferol, or any excipients, as well as those with untreated hypercalcemia, severe renal impairment, or certain granulomatous diseases, should avoid using this product unless directed by a physician.
