Limit alcohol intake while using Reef-D as it can affect calcium absorption.
During pregnancy, only use higher doses of Reef-D than the daily dietary allowance if advised by a doctor, as higher doses of calcitriol may harm the fetus..
Before taking Reef-D during breastfeeding, consult your doctor, as it can pass into breast milk. Monitor the mother and adjust the dosage accordingly.

Adequate calcium in the blood is vital to numerous bodily functions, and even short periods of deficiency can have significant effects. Calcium is essential for bone health and is useful in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and associated fractures. Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption from the GI tract and stimulates bone formation. Calcium carbonate sourced from coral origin ensures better absorption. Vitamin D3 aids in calcium absorption from the GI tract and helps maintain calcium balance in the body.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal irritation, constipation, allergic reactions, irregular heartbeats, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, dry mouth, and drowsiness. Vitamin D supplements may cause skin rash.
One tablet once or twice daily with plenty of water or as directed by the physician. Taking on a full stomach ensures better absorption. Dissolve 1 effervescent tablet in a glass of water to drink orally. Stir the solution with a spoon before drinking. Taking on a full stomach ensures better absorption.
Overdose can lead to hypervitaminosis D and hypercalcemia, which may cause various symptoms including gastrointestinal distress, renal damage, and soft tissue calcification. Treatment involves discontinuing calcium treatment, rehydration, and other supportive measures as necessary.
Thiazide diuretics reduce the urinary excretion of calcium. Systemic corticosteroids reduce calcium absorption. Simultaneous treatment with ion exchange resins or laxatives may reduce gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin D. Calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline preparations. Hypercalcemia may increase the toxicity of cardiac glycosides. Patients taking bisphosphonates or sodium fluoride should take this medication at least three hours before the intake of calcium tablets. Oxalic acid and phytic acid found in certain foods may inhibit calcium absorption.
During pregnancy and lactation, calcium and vitamin D intake should not exceed recommended levels. Overdoses of calcium and vitamin D should be avoided due to potential adverse effects on the developing fetus.
Serum calcium levels and renal function should be monitored during long-term treatment. Patients with impaired renal function should use vitamin D with caution. Patients with sarcoidosis should be monitored for serum calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion. Immobilized patients with osteoporosis are at increased risk of hypercalcemia. The dose of vitamin D should be considered when prescribing other drugs containing vitamin D.
Store at temperatures below 30°C, protected from light and moisture, and keep out of reach of children.
