1. What are Vigalex Bio and Vigalex Forte and what are they used for

Vigalex Bio and Vigalex Forte contain the active substance vitamin D (cholecalciferol), which plays an important role in bone formation, immune system support, and numerous physiological processes in the body.
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is produced by the body in the skin under the influence of sunlight (UV radiation) and can also be supplied to the body with food.
In vitamin D deficiencies, there are disorders of bone calcification (rickets) or loss of calcium from bones (osteomalacia) and weakening of the body's immune system.
Vigalex Bio and Vigalex Forte are used in:

  • preventing vitamin D deficiency in children and adults,
  • preventing vitamin D deficiency in women planning pregnancy, during pregnancy, and breastfeeding, in agreement with a doctor,
  • preventing rickets and osteomalacia in children and adults,
  • supportive treatment of osteoporosis in adults.

Vigalex Bio is intended for patients aged 6 years and older with a normal body mass.
Vigalex Forte is intended for patients aged 11 years and older with a normal body mass.

2. Important information before taking Vigalex Bio and Vigalex Forte

When not to take Vigalex Bio and Vigalex Forte

  • if the patient has kidney function disorders,
  • if the patient is being treated with cardiac glycosides or diuretics,
  • in the case of children under 6 years of age,
