Introduction About WYTROL CAPSULE
WYTROL CAPSULE is a combination of Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin, and Pyridoxine which belongs to the group of medicines called Vitamin D analogues, Minerals, and B vitamins. It is used to manage, manage, or manage osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a condition that causes thinning and weakening of bones because of excessive absorption of calcium from the bones. It is characterized by symptoms such as bleeding gums, weak grip strength, brittle fingernails, loss of height, frequent fractures, and neck and back pain.
WYTROL CAPSULE is not recommended for use if you are allergic to calcitriol or any other metabolite of vitamin D, such as alfacalcidol and cholecalciferol. It is also not recommended for use if you have high levels of calcium in your blood, metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in your body), or are not well because of high levels of vitamin D in your body.
WYTROL CAPSULE is also not recommended for use in patients with renal calculi (kidney stones) or who have a history of renal calculi. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are suffering from a liver impairment, renal impairment, or other kidney diseases.
WYTROL CAPSULE should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. It should be used with caution in children (under 12 years of age) and elderly patients (aged 65 or above). Consult your doctor before taking it.
The common side effects associated with the use of WYTROL CAPSULE are constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Contact your doctor or a nearby hospital if any of the conditions worsen.

How WYTROL CAPSULE Works
WYTROL CAPSULE helps in managing bone weakening, where calcitriol plays a very important role in aiding the absorption of calcium by acting on certain gut cells to increase the production of calcium transport proteins, whereas calcium carbonate acts by directly increasing the calcium stores in the body.
Folic acid, pyridoxine, and methylcobalamin work by binding to certain bone-depleting amino acids (homocysteine), which results in the inactivation of those amino agents and an increase in bone-depositing activity in the body, thereby reversing the osteoporotic process.
How to use WYTROL CAPSULE
Take WYTROL CAPSULE as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition.
