Advacal Forte

This supplement is "Practitioner Only" or “Behind the Counter” Supplements- please read below before ordering.

 

AdvaCal Forte is a complete calcium supplement designed to help support bone strength, growth and mineralisation. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Calcium may help prevent osteoporosis when dietary intake is inadequate. 

AdvaCal Forte provides vitamin D to aid in the absorption of calcium, and vitamin K and magnesium to support healthy cardiovascular system function. Magnesium also aids in the maintenance of healthy muscle function and relieves muscle cramps when dietary intake is inadequate.

Directions

Adults: Take 1 tablet three times a day, or as professionally prescribed.

Warnings/Cautions

Calcium supplements can have an antagonistic effect on the action of calcium channel blockers.

Concurrent administration of levothyroxine and calcium may reduce drug absorption; separate doses by at least 4 hours.

Concurrent administration of quinolone antibiotics and calcium may reduce drug efficacy; take quinolones either 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after calcium.

Concurrent administration of tetracycline antibiotics and calcium may reduce drug efficacy; separate doses by at least 2 hours.

Calcium can interact with numerous drugs and should be used with caution by people with renal disease or hyperparathyroid conditions.

Vitamin D is contraindicated in hypercalcaemia.

Vitamin D is not to be taken in sarcoidosis or hyperparathyroidism without medical supervision.

Vitamin D can possibly interfere with the action of calcium channel blockers; caution is advised.

People taking blood thinners should talk to their doctor before taking vitamin K. It may interfere with anticoagulants such as warfarin and coumadin.

Magnesium taken in high doses may cause loose stools.

Magnesium supplementation should be done cautiously in people with compromised renal function and is contraindicated in renal failure and heart block.

Concomitant use of aminoglycoside antibiotics and magnesium can increase the risk for neuromuscular weakness.

Zinc interacts with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; separate doses by 2 hours.
