1. What Cadelius D is and what it is used for

Cadelius D is used to prevent and treat calcium or vitamin D3 deficiency in elderly people and as additional treatment in osteoporosis in patients at risk of vitamin D or calcium deficiency when a dietary supplement of 600 mg/day of calcium and 1,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 is appropriate.

Cadelius D contains calcium and vitamin D3, both important components in bone formation. Vitamin D3 regulates the absorption and metabolism of calcium as well as the incorporation of calcium into bone tissue.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions and always follow their instructions.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after a few days.
