1. What is Calcium Hasco and what is it used for
Calcium Hasco is a medicine containing calcium salts. Calcium is a building block of the body and plays an important role in many physiological processes (maintaining proper blood clotting, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and cell membrane function). Calcium also reduces the permeability of blood vessel walls, acting as a vasodilator and anti-inflammatory agent. Calcium passes through the placenta and into breast milk.
Indications for use:
- prevention and supplementation of calcium deficiency in the body, e.g., during pregnancy or breastfeeding,
- treatment of osteoporosis,
- supportive treatment of allergy symptoms.
2. Important information before using Calcium Hasco

- if the patient has elevated calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia, e.g., in patients with hyperparathyroidism, severe renal failure, or vitamin D overdose);
- if the patient has increased calcium excretion in the urine (hypercalciuria);
- if the patient has severe renal failure or kidney stones;
- if the patient has an atrioventricular block.

Calcium Hasco and other medicines
You should tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
High doses of calcium taken with certain heart medicines (digitalis glycosides or calcium channel blockers) can cause serious heart rhythm disorders.
Calcium significantly reduces the absorption of certain antibiotics (tetracyclines and quinolones), levothyroxine, nitrofurantoin, bisphosphonates, chlorpromazine, penicillamine, blood thinners, and fluoride compounds. Therefore, it is recommended to leave a 3-hour interval between taking Calcium Hasco syrup and these medicines.
Diuretic medicines from the thiazide group reduce calcium excretion, while vitamin D increases calcium absorption.
