1. What is Vitaminum A 2000 + D 400 HASCO and what is it used for

Vitamin A plays an essential role in the process of vision (ensuring proper functioning of the retina), is necessary for growth, regeneration, differentiation, and function of skin and mucous membrane epithelium. It participates in bone calcification and structure formation, in the process of reproduction and embryonic development.
Vitamin D is a bioregulator of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body, responsible for maintaining the balance between these two elements – the main building components of the bone system. Natural food products contain little of this vitamin (mainly in the form of provitamin) and even in a proper diet, its content is low. Vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia (softening of bones) in adults and osteoporosis (rarefaction, porosity, and brittleness of the bone system) in older people.
The medicine is used to prevent vitamin A and D deficiencies. Such treatment is indicated for people who spend little time in the sun.

After working as a paediatrician in Kyiv, she relocated to Spain, where she has been practising general medicine since 2015, providing care for both adults and children.

Her work focuses on urgent, short-term medical concerns – situations where patients need quick guidance, symptom assessment and clear next steps.

acute respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever)
viral illnesses such as colds and seasonal infections
gastrointestinal complaints (nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis)
sudden changes in how a child or adult feels
questions about existing treatment and whether adjustments are needed
renewal of prescriptions when clinically appropriate

Dr. Shalko works specifically with urgent and short-term problems, providing practical recommendations and helping patients determine the safest next step. She explains symptoms clearly, guides patients through decision-making and offers straightforward medical advice for everyday acute issues.

She does not provide long-term management of chronic conditions, ongoing follow-up or comprehensive care plans for complex long-term illnesses. Her consultations are designed for acute symptoms, sudden concerns and situations where timely medical input is important.
