pharmachologic effect
A two-component medicine, the medicinal effect of which consists of the effects of the active components. The medication promotes bone mineralization , stimulates the reabsorption of phosphates in the renal system, and increases the absorption of calcium from the intestinal lumen.
The medication is able to replenish the deficiency of colecalciferol and calcium, increase bone density, reduce bone resorption, and regulate the exchange of phosphates and calcium in the body.
Calcium takes part in the process of blood clotting and the formation of the skeletal system, in the transmission of impulses along the neuromuscular pathway. Ensures stable operation and functioning of the cardiovascular system.
Colecalciferol promotes the mineralization of dental tissue and the skeletal system and participates in their formation. Ensures complete absorption of Ca from the intestinal lumen and digestive tract.
The combined use of colecalciferol and calcium enhances the production of parathyroid hormone , which acts as a stimulator in relation to bone resorption.
Composition of Complivita calcium 3d
Complivit calcium d3 is available in the form of cream-colored chewable tablets with a rough surface. They have a pleasant fruity taste. The orange flavoring contained in the medicine gives it a faint citrus smell. The manufacturer of the drug provides instructions that indicate the ability of the drug to regulate the metabolism of phosphates and calcium, and compensate for the deficiency of vitamin D3 and Ca. Complivit is used to correct the metabolism of cartilage and bone tissue. The drug contains 2 active components:
- Calcium carbonate (Ca2+) – 1.25 g, which is equal to the content of 500 mg of calcium. Ca2+ plays an important role in the formation of cartilage, ligaments, bones, and is also indispensable for the normal functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
- Colecalciferol (vitamin D3) in the form of granulate – 5 mcg. Vitamin D3 improves the process of assimilation and absorption of calcium by the intestines, takes part in the process of bone formation and the delivery of necessary minerals to them, and also has a positive effect on all systems in the body, improves the appearance of the skin. Taking vitamin D3 is a means of preventing rickets in children. The combined use of Ca2+ and vitamin D3 reduces the production of parathyroid hormone, which provokes the process of leaching of calcium from bone tissue.

Complivit Calcium D3, instructions for use (Method and dosage)
therapy : 2-3 times a day, 1 tablet. For preventive purposes, 1 tablet is prescribed twice a day.
If there is a lack of vitamin D3 and calcium, 1 tablet is prescribed 1-2 times a day (adults and children over 12 years old). In pediatric practice, for children 3-5 years old, the dose is selected taking into account individual characteristics and concomitant pathology; children 5-12 years old - 1-2 tablets per day. How to take the tablets: You can either chew them or swallow them whole during meals.
Instructions for Complivit Calcium D3 Forte
Morning and evening (twice a day) 1 tablet with meals. The scheme may vary depending on the clinical picture and individual characteristics.
Instructions for kids
The dosage form in powder form is designed specifically for use in pediatric practice (age category - up to 3 years). A suspension is prepared from the powder and taken orally during meals.
How to prepare the suspension?
Shake the bottle thoroughly to completely separate the powder particles from the walls and bottom, add warm boiled water, filling 2/3 of the bottle. Shake for 2 minutes, achieving structural homogeneity of the solution, then add water to the neck of the bottle, shake thoroughly. The bottle of powder and suspension must be shaken before each use.
Overdose
- fainting conditions;
- decreased appetite;
- coma;
- headache;
- constipation;
- dyspeptic manifestations;
- polyuria;
- thirst.
Long-term use of large doses causes calcification of organs, tissues, and blood vessels. According to the results of biochemical analysis, hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria are determined.
Therapy includes measures for rehydration , taking “loop” diuretics, glucocorticosteroids, bisphosphonates, and calcitonin.
Prescribing a diet with limited Ca intake is effective. Hemodialysis has a good effect .
Interaction
Thiazide diuretics increase the risk of hypercalcemia due to their ability to enhance tubular Ca reabsorption. The opposite effect (increased excretion of calcium from the body by the renal system) is recorded during therapy with “loop” diuretics ( Furosemide ).
The absorption of colecalciferol is reduced when treated with laxative medications based on vegetable oil (or mineral oil). A similar effect is observed when taking Cholestyramine .
Therapy with glucocorticosteroids may require dose adjustment of Complivit Calcium D3 (more often an increase in dosage is required).
The time interval between doses of Complivit and sodium fluoride, bisphosphonates should be at least 2 hours.
The medication may increase the rate of absorption of Tetracycline (and similar antibiotics ) from the digestive tract, so it is recommended to maintain a 3-hour break between doses.
Cardiac glycosides require a more thorough examination of the patient with cardiovascular pathology, since Ca preparations can enhance both the toxic effect and the therapeutic effect of most glycosides.
The effectiveness of colecalciferol is reduced when treated with barbiturates and phenytoin.
Drug interactions
The activity of colecalciferol may be decreased when used concomitantly with phenytoin or barbiturates.
With simultaneous treatment with cardiac glycosides, monitoring of the ECG and clinical condition is necessary, because Calcium preparations can potentiate the therapeutic and toxic effects of cardiac glycosides.
Calcium and colecalciferol preparations can increase the absorption of tetracyclines from the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the time interval between doses of drugs should be at least 3 hours.
To prevent decreased absorption of bisphosphonate drugs or sodium fluoride, it is recommended to take Complivit® Calcium D3 no earlier than two hours after taking them.
GCS reduce absorption, therefore, when treating GCS, an increase in the dose of Complivit® Calcium D3 may be required.
Simultaneous treatment with cholestyramine preparations or laxatives based on mineral or vegetable oil may reduce the absorption of colecalciferol.
With simultaneous use of thiazide diuretics, the risk of developing hypercalcemia increases, because they increase tubular reabsorption of calcium. Furosemide and other “loop” diuretics, on the contrary, increase calcium excretion by the kidneys.
special instructions
The medication contains aspartame, which can be transformed to phenylalanine, which limits the use of the drug in patients with phenylketonuria. Monitoring of calcium excretion in urine, creatinine and calcium levels based on the results of biochemical analysis is mandatory.
When calciuria (more than 7.5 mmol per day), treatment is stopped (dose reduction is allowed). In elderly patients, the daily requirement for colecalciferol is 500-1000 IU, for calcium - 1500 mg. The attending physician should calculate the dose of the medication taking into account the intake of colecalciferol and calcium from other possible sources.
