What is TAYO TABLET used for?

TAYO TABLET, containing Calcium carbonate and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), is primarily used to manage calcium deficiency (low levels of calcium in the blood), which is often seen during pregnancy and lactation. It is also prescribed for the management of osteoporosis (brittle and fragile bones), osteomalacia (softening of bones), rickets (abnormal calcification and distortion of bones), and hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormones).

How does TAYO TABLET work?

TAYO TABLET functions by providing essential calcium and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium, while calcium carbonate acts as a direct calcium supplement. This combination helps to counteract the increase in parathyroid hormone caused by calcium deficiency, which can lead to increased bone resorption, ultimately strengthening bones, teeth, and supporting muscle functions.

What is the usual dosage for TAYO TABLET?

TAYO TABLET should be taken as advised by your doctor or pharmacist. It is generally recommended to take it preferably after the evening meal. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage. The typical composition often includes 500 mg of elemental calcium and 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, but the exact dosage for your condition should be determined by a healthcare professional.

What are the possible side effects of TAYO TABLET?

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, excess gas, dry mouth, loss of hunger, acid refluxes, and stomach upset. If any of these side effects worsen or persist, you should consult your doctor. Rarely, prolonged use can lead to kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition or symptoms of Milk-alkali syndrome, such as alkaline urine and increased calcium levels in urine leading to kidney issues.

Is TAYO TABLET safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

TAYO TABLET can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but only if advised by your doctor. It is considered generally safe, but consulting your doctor before taking it is important to understand the required dosages and to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.

Can TAYO TABLET be taken with other medications?

Before taking TAYO TABLET, inform your doctor about all other medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking, as interactions can occur. Specific caution is advised with medicines such as thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, cholestyramine, laxatives (like paraffin oil), tetracyclines, and cardiac glycosides. It is also recommended to avoid taking thyroid medicines and TAYO TABLET together.

What precautions should be taken while using TAYO TABLET?

TAYO TABLET is not recommended if you have hypervitaminosis D (increased levels of vitamin D in the blood), kidney stones, diseases that increase calcium levels in blood and urine (e.g., hyperparathyroidism), or severe kidney impairment. Exercise caution if you have sarcoidosis, are an immobilized patient with osteoporosis, have malignancies, or impaired renal function. Also, avoid taking it if you are allergic to calcium carbonate, vitamin D3, or any other ingredients of this medicine. Limiting alcohol consumption is advisable while taking this medicine.
