Product Introduction
Nefmax CT Capsule contains the active ingredient Calcitriol. It is used to treat various conditions related to calcium and bone metabolism. Regulating calcium and phosphorus levels, promoting bone health, and supporting overall bodily functions are important therapeutic objectives. It is indicated in conditions including hypocalcaemia (low blood calcium), hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone), chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis (weakened bones), rickets, osteomalacia (softening of bones), psoriasis, and secondary hyperparathyroidism (imbalanced calcium metabolism). It can also assist in managing parathyroid hormone levels and associated complications. It may provide benefit in immune function, cancer prevention, cardiovascular health, diabetes management, mood regulation, muscle strength, and autoimmune conditions. Patients with known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Nefmax CT Capsule or any medication containing calcitriol should avoid using the medication and inform their healthcare provider immediately. This medication should be avoided in patients with hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium levels), vitamin D toxicity, malabsorption syndromes, and elevated levels of vitamin D metabolites. In children, it is used for conditions such as rickets or growth-related issues. In older adults, it may be used to support bone health and prevent fractures. Healthcare professionals carefully manage dosage and monitoring to ensure safe and effective use in these age groups.

How it works

Nefmax CT Capsule can be administered as an intravenous injection. The dose depends on the medical condition and treatment goals. The dose depends on the age, weight, and severity of the condition and is decided by a healthcare provider.
