Kalcijev Karbonat Krka (calcium carbonate) is used as a mineral supplement to address calcium‑related disorders.

- Calcium deficiency: Restores adequate calcium levels to support normal physiological functions. - Prevention of osteoporosis: Provides elemental calcium to help maintain bone mineral density and reduce bone loss. - Support of bone health: Supplies calcium needed for bone remodeling and strength in adults and growing children. - Secondary hyperparathyroidism: Assists in managing calcium balance when parathyroid hormone is elevated.

Calcium carbonate is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Constipation: Reduced bowel motility leading to hard stools. - Flatulence: Excess gas production causing abdominal discomfort. - Belching: Release of gas from the stomach through the mouth. - Abdominal discomfort: Mild pain or cramping in the stomach area. - Nausea: Feeling of unease and urge to vomit.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypercalcemia: Elevated blood calcium levels that may cause weakness, confusion, or cardiac arrhythmia. - Kidney stones: Formation of calcium‑based calculi in the urinary tract. - Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Severe abdominal pain: Persistent or worsening pain requiring medical evaluation.

When using Kalcijev Karbonat Krka, consider the following precautions.

- Assess calcium intake: Evaluate dietary calcium to avoid excess supplementation. - Renal function: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment. - Vitamin D status: Ensure adequate vitamin D to facilitate calcium absorption. - Concurrent medications: Review use of bisphosphonates, thiazide diuretics, and iron supplements. - Pregnancy and lactation: Use only under medical supervision. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep below 25 °C in the original container, protect from moisture.

Calcium carbonate can affect the absorption or action of several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Bisphosphonates: Calcium may reduce absorption; separate dosing by at least 2 hours. - Tetracycline antibiotics: Calcium chelates tetracyclines, decreasing their efficacy. - Iron supplements: Calcium interferes with iron absorption; separate dosing.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Thiazide diuretics: May increase risk of hypercalcemia. - Vitamin D analogues: May enhance calcium absorption; monitor serum levels. - ACE inhibitors: Potential for altered calcium balance; monitor renal function.
