Product Introduction
Vapnik Tablet is a gastrointestinal agent containing the active ingredient Calcium carbonate. It is indicated for treatment of calcium deficiency (insufficient levels of calcium) in the body. This medication is also prescribed to patients undergoing kidney dialysis, where it helps remove phosphate from the blood that cannot be adequately eliminated through dialysis.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Calcium carbonate or any other ingredients, or if you have experienced difficulty breathing and skin rashes. This drug is generally not recommended for patients with kidney stones or excessive amounts of calcium in the blood or urine. Inform your physician if you have osteoporosis, cancer, or heart disorders before taking Vapnik Tablet.
Excessive consumption of Vapnik Tablet may lead to hypercalcaemia, characterised by elevated levels of calcium in the blood. Symptoms of hypercalcaemia may include fatigue, nausea, constipation, excessive thirst, and frequent urination. In severe cases, it can lead to confusion, muscle weakness, and cardiac abnormalities.

Expert Tips
Ensure that you stay well-hydrated when taking Vapnik Tablet. Drinking enough water helps with its absorption and can prevent constipation, a common side effect of calcium supplementation. Try to obtain calcium from a balanced diet as well. Include calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, almonds, and fortified foods.
