  • if you have severe kidney problems.
  • if you have excessive calcium in your blood or urine.
  • if you have kidney stones.
  • if you have excessive vitamin D in your blood.

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication:

  • if you are undergoing long-term treatment, especially if you are taking diuretics (used to treat high blood pressure or edema) or cardiac glycosides (used to treat heart conditions).
  • if you have signs of altered renal function or a tendency to form kidney stones.
  • if you have sarcoidosis (an immune system disorder that can increase vitamin D levels in the body).
  • if you have osteoporosis and are unable to move around.
  • if you are taking other products containing vitamin D. Additional doses of calcium and vitamin D should be taken under strict medical supervision.

Children and Adolescents

This medication is not intended for use in children and adolescents.

Taking Mastical D with Other Medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medications.

If you are also taking tetracyclines (a type of antibiotic), take them at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after taking Mastical D. Calcium carbonate may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline preparations if taken at the same time.

Medications containing bisphosphonates (used to treat osteoporosis) should be taken at least 1 hour before taking Mastical D.

Calcium may reduce the effect of levothyroxine (used to treat thyroid hormone deficiency). Therefore, levothyroxine should be taken at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after taking this medication.

The effects of some antibiotics (quinolones) may be reduced if taken at the same time as calcium. Therefore, quinolones should be taken 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking Mastical D.

Calcium salts may decrease the absorption of iron, zinc, and strontium ranelate. Therefore, iron, zinc, or strontium ranelate preparations should be taken at least 2 hours before or after Mastical D.

Other medications that may interact with or be affected by Mastical D are:

  • thiazide diuretics (used to treat hypertension or edema)
  • cardiac glycosides (used to treat heart conditions)

Orlistat (used to treat obesity) may alter the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D3.

If you are using any of the aforementioned medications, your doctor will provide further instructions.

Taking Mastical D with Food and Drinks

Mastical D orange-flavored tablets can be taken with or without food and drinks.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

If you are pregnant, you can use Mastical D in case of calcium and vitamin D deficiency. During pregnancy, do not take more than 2500 mg of calcium and 4000 IU of vitamin D per day, as overdoses may affect the fetus.

This medication can be taken during breastfeeding. Calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk. This should be taken into account when administering additional vitamin D to the child.

Driving and Using Machines

This medication has no known influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

Mastical D Contains Sorbitol

This medication contains 324.45 mg of sorbitol (E-420) per tablet. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars or have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), a rare genetic disorder in which the patient cannot break down fructose, consult your doctor before taking this medication.

Mastical D is Essentially Sodium-Free

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet, which is essentially "sodium-free".
