ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP DELICIOUS PINEAPPLE FLAVOUR 100 ML

Name: Ultra D3 Syrup, also known as Ultra D3 Delicious Pineapple Flavour Syrup.

Composition: Each 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) of this syrup contains Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 1000 IU, in a flavoured base with natural pineapple flavour. Cholecalciferol is an analogue of Vitamin D3.

Uses: Ultra D3 Syrup is primarily used to treat and prevent Vitamin D deficiency, which can result from inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption, or insufficient sunlight exposure. It is crucial for the proper absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphate in the bloodstream.

This medicine effectively treats various conditions, including:

• Low blood calcium levels.
• Osteoporosis (weak bones) and osteomalacia (softening of bones due to low calcium levels) or rickets in children.
• Hypoparathyroidism (underactive parathyroid glands) and latent tetany (a muscle disease characterized by low blood calcium levels).
• It also supports overall bone health, immune function, and muscle function.

Dosage and Administration: Take Ultra D3 Syrup as advised by a physician. The typical adult dosage for nutritional deficiency is 5 ml daily. It can be taken with or without food. For children, the dosage should be recommended by a pediatrician. Do not exceed the suggested dose.

Side Effects: Ultra D3 Syrup is generally considered safe when taken as prescribed. However, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

• Common: Constipation, nausea, vomiting, increased blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia), elevated calcium levels in urine (hypercalciuria), headache, irritability, weakness, metallic taste, dry mouth, weight loss, and conjunctivitis.
• Serious (rare, with excessive intake): Mental confusion, skin rash, hives, itching, and in severe cases with prolonged high doses, toxicity leading to kidney and heart failure. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your physician.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ultra D3 Syrup or any of its components.
• Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or phenylketonuria, as the syrup may contain sugar or aspartame.
• Consult a doctor before use if you have kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, kidney stones, or hypervitaminosis D (too much vitamin D).
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this supplement under medical supervision, as high doses of Vitamin D may not be advisable during pregnancy.
• Avoid taking this medicine if you have hypercalcaemia or evidence of vitamin D toxicity.
• Avoid touching the medicine with wet hands.

Storage: Store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the syrup below 25°C or below 30°C. Keep Ultra D3 Syrup out of the sight and reach of children.

What is ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP used for?

ULTRA D3 syrup is primarily used to prevent and treat Vitamin D3 deficiency. It helps the body absorb and metabolize calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for building stronger bones and teeth, and for maintaining overall bone health. It is also indicated for conditions such as osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia (softening of bones), hypoparathyroidism, and latent tetany. Additionally, it supports normal muscle function and boosts the immune system.

How does ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP work?

This syrup contains Cholecalciferol, which is Vitamin D3. Once consumed, Cholecalciferol is converted in the body to calcitriol, an active form of Vitamin D. Calcitriol then works by stimulating the absorption of calcium and phosphates from the intestines and kidneys, and also helps regulate the release of calcium from bones into the bloodstream. This process is crucial for maintaining proper calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.

What is the usual dosage for ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP?

For children, the typical dosage is 5 ml daily. For adults with nutritional deficiency, the recommended dose is often 10 mcg (400 units) daily. Higher doses, up to 1 mg (40,000 units) daily for malabsorption or liver diseases, or up to 5 mg (200,000 units) daily for hypocalcemia caused by hypoparathyroidism, should only be taken under strict doctor's guidance. For a 1.5-year-old child, a dosage of around 3 ml once daily (if 1000 IU/5ml) may be prescribed, corresponding to approximately 600 IU.

What are the possible side effects of ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP?

While generally safe, possible side effects can include nausea, vomiting, constipation, weakness, headache, irritability, and a metallic taste. More serious, though rare, side effects can occur with excessive intake, such as increased calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia) and urine (hypercalciuria), weight loss, mental confusion, pruritus (itching), skin rash, hives, or conjunctivitis. If any persistent or severe side effects occur, medical attention should be sought.

Is ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking ULTRA D3 syrup. While Vitamin D is essential, some sources indicate that pregnant women should not use this medication or that higher doses should only be used if specifically advised by a doctor. Breastfeeding mothers are also advised to consult their doctor, as it can potentially cause side effects for the baby.

Can ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP be taken with other medications?

Yes, ULTRA D3 can interact with other medications. Many medicines may interact with Vitamin D3, potentially decreasing its absorption or increasing the risk of adverse effects. For instance, dose adjustments may be required if taking Chloramphenicol or Omeprazole. It is crucial to inform your doctor about all current medications, supplements, and any pre-existing medical conditions to ensure safety and avoid potential interactions.

What precautions should be taken when using ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP?

Caution should be exercised to avoid excessive intake of Vitamin D, as it can lead to hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hyperphosphatemia, and potentially cause renal and cardiovascular damage. This syrup is not recommended for individuals with pre-existing hypercalcemia or evidence of Vitamin D toxicity. If the syrup contains sugar or aspartame, caution is advised for individuals with diabetes or phenylketonuria. Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, kidney stones, electrolyte imbalance, hyperparathyroidism, or hypervitaminosis D (too much Vitamin D).

What happens if a dose of ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP is missed?

If you miss a dose of ULTRA D3 syrup, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

How should ULTRA D3 1000 IU/5 ML SYRUP be stored?

ULTRA D3 syrup should be stored at room temperature.
