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

This medication contains two active ingredients: calcium and vitamin D3. Calcium is an important component of bones, and vitamin D3 helps with calcium absorption in the intestine and its deposition in bones.

It is indicated for:

  • Correction of vitamin D and calcium deficiencies in the elderly.
  • In combination with osteoporosis treatments, if calcium and vitamin D levels are too low, or there is a high risk of them being too low.

2. Before taking Carbocal D

Do not take Carbocal D

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to calcium, vitamin D, or any of the other components of Carbocal D (in particular, soybean or peanut oil) (see section 6).
  • If you have abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) and/or excessive loss of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria).
  • If you have any condition that may lead to hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria (e.g., overactive parathyroid glands, bone marrow disease (myeloma), malignant bone tumor (bone metastases)).
  • If you have kidney failure.
  • If you have kidney stones (lithiasis) or calcium deposits in your kidneys (nephrocalcinosis).
  • If you have an excessive intake of vitamin D (hypervitaminosis D).

Be careful with Carbocal D

In the case of long-term treatments with Carbocal D, the amount of calcium in the blood should be regularly monitored (calcemia). This monitoring is particularly important in the elderly and when the treatment is being administered at the same time as cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin) or diuretics. Depending on the result, your doctor will decide whether to reduce or interrupt the treatment.

Before taking Carbocal D, consult your doctor or pharmacist:

  • If you have had kidney stones.
  • If you are suffering from any immune disorder (sarcoidosis), for which calcium levels in the blood and urine should be monitored.
  • If you are immobile and have a reduction in bone mass (osteoporosis). This may cause an excessive increase in calcium levels in the blood, which can cause side effects.
  • If you are taking other medications that contain vitamin D3 or calcium. This may cause an excessive increase in calcium levels in the blood, which can cause side effects.

Use of other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those purchased without a prescription.

In particular:

  • Thiazide diuretics (medications used to treat high blood pressure), as they may increase the amount of calcium in the blood.
  • Oral steroids, as they may reduce the amount of calcium in the blood.
  • Orlistat (a medication used to treat obesity), cholestyramine, or laxatives such as paraffin oil, as they may reduce the absorption of vitamin D3.
  • Phenytoin (a medication for epilepsy) and barbiturates (medications that help with sleep), as they may make vitamin D3 less effective.
  • Cardiac glycosides (medications used to treat heart problems), as they may cause more side effects if too much calcium is taken.
  • Tetracycline antibiotics, as they may reduce the amount absorbed. In this case, it is recommended to take them at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after taking Carbocal D.
  • Estramustine (a medication used in chemotherapy), thyroid hormones, or medications that contain iron, zinc, or strontium, as they may reduce the amount absorbed. They should be administered at least 2 hours before or after Carbocal D.
  • Bisphosphonates (a treatment for certain bone conditions), fluoride, or fluoroquinolones (a type of antibiotic), as they may reduce the amount absorbed. These medications should be taken at least 3 hours before or after Carbocal D.
  • Other medications that contain calcium or vitamin D while taking Carbocal D. This may cause an excessive increase in calcium levels in the blood.

Taking Carbocal D with food and drinks

In the two hours prior to taking Carbocal D, you should avoid eating foods that contain oxalates (e.g., spinach and rhubarb) or phytic acid (e.g., whole grains), which may reduce calcium absorption.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

This medication can be used during pregnancy; however, the daily intake of calcium should not exceed 1500 mg, and the daily intake of vitamin D should not exceed 600 UI. Therefore, in the case of pregnancy, the daily dose of Carbocal D should not exceed one tablet per day. Higher amounts may have negative effects on the baby.

During breastfeeding, you can take Carbocal D. Since calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk, you should consult your doctor first if your child is receiving any other product that contains vitamin D3.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive and use machines are known.

Important information about some of the components of Carbocal D

This medication contains sorbitol. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking/using this medication.

This medication may be harmful to people with phenylketonuria because it contains aspartame, which is a source of phenylalanine.

This medication contains sucrose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking the medication.

Carbocal D also contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil. It should not be used in case of peanut or soy allergy.

3. How to take Carbocal D

Follow the administration instructions of Carbocal D indicated by your doctor exactly. Consult your doctor if you have any doubts.

The normal dose is 1 tablet twice a day for adults and the elderly (e.g., one tablet in the morning and one tablet at night). Pregnant women should take only one tablet per day.

Chew the Carbocal D tablets and then drink water if desired.

If you take more Carbocal D than you should

If you take more Carbocal D than you should and experience any symptoms of overdose, stop taking Carbocal D and contact your doctor immediately.

Symptoms of overdose may include: anorexia, excessive thirst, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, mental health problems, increased urine production, bone pain, kidney stones.

In the case of prolonged overdose, calcium deposits may appear in blood vessels or other body tissues.

In the case of severe overdose, cardiac arrest may occur.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Carbocal D

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.

If you have any other questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
