Kolekalciferol Teva

Colecalciferol, the active ingredient in Kolekalciferol Teva, is a vitamin D presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is used to treat vitamin D deficiency, support bone health, and prevent disorders such as rickets and osteomalacia in children and adults.

GNH USA supplies Kolekalciferol Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Kolekalciferol Teva provides vitamin D supplementation for conditions related to calcium metabolism and bone health.

- Vitamin D deficiency: restores normal serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. - Bone health maintenance: supports calcium absorption for healthy bone mineralization. - Prevention of rickets: averts impaired bone development in children. - Prevention of osteomalacia: reduces risk of softening of bones in adults.

Kolekalciferol Teva is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Hypercalcemia: mild elevation of blood calcium levels. - Nausea: occasional stomach discomfort. - Constipation: reduced bowel movements. - Headache: transient head pain. - Fatigue: feeling of tiredness. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypercalcemia: may cause cardiac arrhythmia or renal impairment. - Renal stones: calcium deposits in kidneys. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling. - Hypervitaminosis D: toxicity from excessive intake. - Hyperphosphatemia: elevated phosphate levels. - Anaphylaxis: rare life‑threatening allergic response.

Before initiating therapy with Kolekalciferol Teva, consider the following precautions.

- Baseline assessment: measure serum calcium and 25‑hydroxyvitamin D levels. - Monitor therapy: repeat laboratory tests periodically to avoid excess. - Renal disease: use with caution in patients with impaired kidney function. - Sarcoidosis or granulomatous disease: avoid high doses due to risk of hypercalcemia. - Concomitant calcium supplements: adjust dose to prevent overdose. - Store at below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Kolekalciferol Teva may interact with several medicines; awareness of the interaction level helps guide safe use.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Thiazide diuretics: increase risk of hypercalcemia. - High‑dose calcium supplements: may cause calcium overload. - Vitamin A excess: potentiates vitamin D toxicity. - Alendronate: concurrent use may reduce absorption of both agents. - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: decrease vitamin D absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Anticonvulsants (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital): accelerate vitamin D metabolism. - Glucocorticoids: may reduce vitamin D effectiveness. - Orlistat: can impair absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins. - Bariatric surgery patients: altered absorption may require monitoring. - Cholestyramine: may bind vitamin D and lower its bioavailability.
