What is Calcium Carbonate?

Calcium carbonate, the active ingredient in Maxi - Kalz, is a calcium supplement presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It supports bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis in adults and children.

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

What is Calcium Carbonate used for?

Maxi - Kalz is a calcium supplement that addresses conditions related to calcium deficiency and bone health.

- Osteoporosis: helps maintain bone density and reduce fracture risk. - Hypocalcemia: provides elemental calcium to correct low serum calcium levels. - Dietary calcium deficiency: supplements daily calcium intake when dietary sources are insufficient. - Post‑menopausal bone loss: contributes to maintaining skeletal strength. - Growth in children: supports normal bone development during periods of rapid growth.

What are the side effects of Calcium Carbonate?

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 in the gastrointestinal tract. - Belching: release of gas from the stomach. - Nausea: feeling of unease or urge to vomit. - Abdominal discomfort: mild stomach pain or cramps. - Diarrhea: loose stools in some individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypercalcemia: elevated blood calcium levels causing weakness, confusion, or cardiac arrhythmia. - Kidney stones: calcium deposits forming calculi in the urinary tract. - Severe constipation: bowel obstruction requiring medical attention. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Metabolic alkalosis: disturbance in acid‑base balance in rare cases. - Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: very rare respiratory reaction.

What precautions apply to Calcium Carbonate?

When using Maxi - Kalz, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess total calcium intake: ensure combined dietary and supplemental calcium does not exceed recommended limits. - Monitor serum calcium: especially in patients with renal impairment or disorders of calcium metabolism. - Avoid in hypercalcemia: contraindicated for individuals with already elevated calcium levels. - Caution in kidney stone formers: calcium supplementation may increase stone risk. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Calcium Carbonate interact with?

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Iron supplements: calcium may reduce iron absorption when taken together. - Tetracycline antibiotics: calcium chelates the drug, decreasing its effectiveness. - Bisphosphonates: concurrent calcium can impair bisphosphonate absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Thyroid hormone replacement: calcium may interfere with levothyroxine absorption. - Loop diuretics: increased calcium excretion may alter calcium balance. - Vitamin D supplements: combined use can raise the risk of hypercalcemia.

Frequently asked questions

What is Maxi - Kalz used for?+
Maxi - Kalz is an oral calcium carbonate supplement used to increase elemental calcium intake. It supports bone mineralization, helps correct low blood calcium levels, and can be part of dietary management for conditions such as osteoporosis, hypocalcemia, and general calcium deficiency.
How does calcium carbonate work in the body?+
Calcium carbonate dissolves in stomach acid, releasing calcium ions that are absorbed in the small intestine. The absorbed calcium contributes to the extracellular calcium pool, which is essential for bone formation, muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and various enzymatic reactions that regulate calcium balance.
What is the usual dose of Maxi - Kalz?+
The appropriate dose of Maxi - Kalz is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, dietary calcium intake, medical condition, and laboratory results. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount without medical advice.
Is Maxi - Kalz safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Calcium carbonate is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when taken at recommended dietary levels. However, pregnant or nursing individuals should consult their healthcare provider before starting any supplement to ensure it aligns with their specific nutritional needs and health status.
How do I order Maxi - Kalz from GNH USA?+
To order Maxi - Kalz, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Maxi - Kalz compare with other calcium supplements?+
Maxi - Kalz provides calcium carbonate, which contains a high percentage of elemental calcium compared with other forms such as calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate requires an acidic environment for optimal absorption, making it suitable for individuals without significant gastric hypochlorhydria, whereas citrate may be preferred when acid production is low.
What are the storage requirements for Maxi - Kalz?+
Store Maxi - Kalz at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability and potency.
How is Maxi - Kalz administered?+
Maxi - Kalz is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but splitting the dose or taking it with meals may improve gastrointestinal tolerance. Patients should follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare provider.
What are the most serious risks associated with Maxi - Kalz?+
The most serious risks include hypercalcemia, which can cause weakness, confusion, cardiac arrhythmias, and kidney stone formation. Rarely, severe allergic reactions or metabolic alkalosis may occur. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms such as persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or breathing difficulties develop.
Who should not use Maxi - Kalz?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to calcium carbonate, those with existing hypercalcemia, or patients with a history of calcium-containing kidney stones should avoid using Maxi - Kalz unless directed otherwise by a healthcare professional.
