Q. Why is it important to monitor calcium levels while taking GemiTROL Capsule?

Taking too much of GemiTROL Capsule can lead to excess calcium in the blood, which may cause nausea, fatigue, muscle pain, or more serious effects like kidney damage or tissue calcification. Regular blood tests help your doctor ensure your calcium levels stay safe and balanced.

It is advised to avoid taking magnesium-containing antacids or zinc-rich supplements while using GemiTROL Capsule unless prescribed. These can interact with the ingredients and cause unwanted effects like high magnesium or zinc toxicity.
