FAQs
What is Alfavit Plus Capsule used for?
Alfavit Plus 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.
Can Alfavit Plus Capsule be used if I already take vitamin D or calcium supplements?
You should not take Alfavit Plus 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.
Who should avoid taking Alfavit Plus Capsule?
Alfavit Plus 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.
Why is it important to monitor calcium levels while taking Alfavit Plus Capsule?
Taking too much of Alfavit Plus 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.
Can Alfavit Plus 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 Alfavit Plus Capsule carefully and only under medical supervision.
During Alfavit Plus Capsule treatment, what symptoms should I watch for that may mean too much calcium in my body?
While you are on Alfavit Plus 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.
Can I take antacids or other supplements along with Alfavit Plus Capsule?
It is advised to avoid taking magnesium-containing antacids or zinc-rich supplements while using Alfavit Plus Capsule unless prescribed. These can interact with the ingredients and cause unwanted effects like high magnesium or zinc toxicity.
Are there any serious side effects of Alfavit Plus Capsule to be aware of?
Serious side effects of Alfavit Plus 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.
Can I use Alfavit Plus 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 Alfavit Plus Capsule and change calcium levels. Always inform your doctor about all medicines you take before starting this medicine.
Is Alfavit Plus Capsule safe for long-term use in elderly patients?
Yes, Alfavit Plus 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.
