Calperos 1000 mg/400 mg Calcium Ions 100 hard capsules

Calperos 1000 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.

• It determines proper nerve conduction and contractility of striated muscles.
• It maintains the body’s electrolyte balance and also affects the efficiency of the heart muscle.
• Participates in the blood clotting process.
• It influences the activity of a number of enzymes and also acts as a transmitter through which chemical, physical or hormonal stimuli are transformed into a specific biological effect.
• Thanks to its property of reducing the permeability of blood vessel walls, calcium has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and anti-allergic effects.

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.

Indications for use are:

• states of increased demand for calcium: periods of intensive growth in children and adolescents and during pregnancy and lactation;
• improper nutrition with products poor in calcium;
• disorders of calcium reabsorption from the renal tubules;
• reduced blood calcium levels with increased phosphorus levels in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis and prevention of increased neuromuscular excitability;
• prophylactically in the prevention and complementary treatment of osteoporosis;
• conditions after long-term immobilization and the period of recovery after bone fractures;
• supportive in the treatment of colds and allergic diseases.

The dose is usually determined based on the daily requirement, which is as follows:

The following dosage is usually used:

Adults:

When not to use Calperos:

• if you are allergic to the active substance or any of the other ingredients of this medicine;
• increased calcium levels in the blood and excessive excretion of calcium in the urine, e.g. in hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, overdose of vitamin D3, decalcifying tumors such as myelomas and tumors metastasizing to the bones, in severe renal failure not treated with dialysis;
• kidney stones;
• treatment with cardiac glycosides;
• severe hypercalciuria (urine with excessive calcium excretion).
