Calperos 1000 mg 30 capsules

Calperos 1000 mg contain calcium carbonate, which is a source of ionized calcium for the body.

Calcium is an element that takes part in the formation and mineralization of bone tissue throughout human life.

The indications for use of Calperos are:

• states of increased demand for calcium: periods of intensive growth in children and adolescents and during pregnancy and lactation;
• low intake of calcium in food;
• disorders of calcium reabsorption from the renal tubules;
• hypocalcemia with hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure and prevention of increased neuromuscular excitability;
• preventively – as a complement to the comprehensive treatment of osteoporosis;
• conditions after long-term immobilization and the period of convalescence (physical rehabilitation) after bone fractures;
• supportive in the treatment of colds and allergic diseases .

aIt is recommended to take the medicine with a meal.

Calcium carbonate contained in CALPEROS preparations helps to cover the daily requirement for calcium, reduces calcium loss from the skeletal system in women in the peri- and post-menopausal period and in all elderly people. It prevents the occurrence of bone changes in the course of chronic renal failure. It has a soothing effect on allergic reactions on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes.
