## India standard (CDSCO / Jan Aushadhi context)

### Overview

Calcium with vitamin D3 supports bone strength where dietary calcium is low, and is commonly used by older adults and during pregnancy on medical advice.

### Recommendations

- For the correct dose and duration, connect with the relevant medical authority or your doctor. Do not change the dose yourself.
- Take it with food; vitamin D helps the calcium absorb.
- Space it apart from iron tablets and thyroid medicine.

### Do's

- Mention kidney stones or high calcium history before regular use.
- Combine with weight-bearing activity for bone health.
- Confirm the medicine, form, and dose with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

### Don'ts
