Alfacal Plus Softgel Capsule

Alfacal Plus Softgel Capsule is a bone health supplement used to treat and prevent calcium and vitamin D-related deficiencies, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), osteoporosis, and other metabolic bone disorders. This combination helps support calcium balance, bone mineralization, and musculoskeletal function.

Alfacalcidol is an active analog of Vitamin D3 that undergoes rapid conversion in the liver to its active form—calcitriol—without requiring kidney activation. This makes it ideal for individuals with impaired renal function, where regular vitamin D may be ineffective. It helps increase calcium absorption from the gut and reduces parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.

Calcium Carbonate provides elemental calcium, which is vital for bone strength, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction. The 200 mg dosage is suitable for maintenance therapy or for individuals needing a milder dose of calcium along with active vitamin D support.

This supplement is commonly prescribed for:

• Osteopenia and osteoporosis

• Hypocalcemia due to CKD or malabsorption

• Postmenopausal bone loss

• Rickets and osteomalacia

• Patients recovering from fractures
