Frequently asked questions about Shellgel Products
Q. What is Shellgel Softgel Capsule used for?
Shellgel Softgel Capsule is used to support bone health and prevent conditions like osteoporosis. It helps maintain proper calcium and vitamin D levels in the body, keeping your bones strong and reducing the risk of fractures, especially in older adults or postmenopausal women.
Q. Can Shellgel Softgel Capsule be used if I already take vitamin D or calcium supplements?
You should not take Shellgel Softgel Capsule with other vitamin D or calcium supplements unless your doctor advises you to. Combining them can raise calcium levels too high in your blood, leading to serious problems such as kidney stones or heart rhythm issues.
Q. Who should avoid taking Shellgel Softgel Capsule?
Shellgel Softgel Capsule should not be used by people who have high calcium levels (hypercalcemia), vitamin D toxicity, or known allergies to any of its ingredients. It should also be avoided by those on digitalis medicines, as high calcium levels can trigger dangerous heart rhythm changes.
Q. Why is it important to monitor calcium levels while taking Shellgel Softgel Capsule?
Taking too much of Shellgel Softgel 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.
Q. Can Shellgel Softgel Capsule cause kidney problems?
Yes, prolonged high calcium levels can lead to kidney stones or calcium buildup in the kidneys. Patients with kidney disease should use Shellgel Softgel Capsule carefully and only under medical supervision.
Q. During Shellgel Softgel Capsule treatment, what symptoms should I watch for that may mean too much calcium in my body?
While you are on Shellgel Softgel Capsule treatment, if you feel extreme thirst, frequent urination, stomach pain, confusion, or notice muscle weakness, these could be signs of high calcium. Contact your doctor immediately if any of these occur while taking this medicine.
Q. Can I take antacids or other supplements along with Shellgel Softgel Capsule?
It is advised to avoid taking magnesium-containing antacids or zinc-rich supplements while using Shellgel Softgel Capsule unless prescribed. These can interact with the ingredients and cause unwanted effects like high magnesium or zinc toxicity.
Q. Are there any serious side effects of Shellgel Softgel Capsule to be aware of?
Serious side effects of Shellgel Softgel Capsule may include severe vomiting, dehydration, restlessness, irregular heartbeat, or kidney complications. These usually happen if the dose is too high or taken for a long time without monitoring. Seek medical help right away if you experience any of these symptoms.
Q. Can I use Shellgel Softgel Capsule if I am on medication for high blood pressure or seizures?
Some medicines, such as thiazide diuretics (used for high blood pressure) and anticonvulsants, may interact with Shellgel Softgel Capsule and change calcium levels. Always inform your doctor about all medicines you take before starting this medicine.
Q. Is Shellgel Softgel Capsule safe for long-term use in elderly patients?
Yes, Shellgel Softgel Capsule can be used long-term under medical supervision. However, elderly people may need lower doses because their kidneys process calcium and vitamin D more slowly. Regular monitoring ensures continued safety and effectiveness.
