Inodeva

Calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol, the active ingredients in Inodeva, are a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement presented as a powder for oral use. They help address calcium and vitamin D deficiencies and support bone health in adults and children as appropriate.

GNH USA supplies Inodeva as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Inodeva acts on mineral metabolism and bone health pathways, providing essential nutrients for skeletal maintenance. - Calcium deficiency: restores adequate calcium levels to support normal physiological functions. - Vitamin D deficiency: raises vitamin D status to facilitate calcium absorption. - Support of bone health: contributes to bone mineralization and reduces risk of demineralization.

Inodeva may cause adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Constipation: reduced bowel movements may occur. - Nausea: occasional stomach upset. - Bloating or gas: gastrointestinal discomfort. - Increased thirst: mild sensation of dryness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypercalcemia: elevated blood calcium levels causing weakness or confusion. - Kidney stones: formation of calcium deposits in the kidneys. - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Hypervitaminosis D: excessive vitamin D leading to toxicity symptoms.

Before using Inodeva, consider the following safety measures. - Assess baseline calcium intake: ensure total dietary calcium does not exceed recommended limits. - Monitor serum calcium: periodic blood tests are advised for at‑risk patients. - Use cautiously in renal impairment: reduced kidney function may affect calcium handling. - Avoid in known hypercalcemia: contraindicated for individuals with elevated calcium levels. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; use only if benefits outweigh risks. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.

Inodeva can interact with other medicines, requiring attention to avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Tetracycline antibiotics: calcium may bind and impair absorption. - Fluoroquinolone antibiotics: concurrent use can decrease antibiotic effectiveness. - Bisphosphonates: calcium reduces oral bisphosphonate absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Levothyroxine: calcium may lower thyroid hormone absorption; separate dosing by at least 4 hours. - Thiazide diuretics: combined effect may raise calcium levels, increasing hypercalcemia risk. - Iron supplements: calcium can diminish iron absorption; stagger administration.
