Description

Acical Tablet is a calcium supplement manufactured by ACI Limited, containing 500 mg Calcium Carbonate per tablet. Priced at ৳4.01 per unit, this essential medication addresses calcium deficiency and acid-related digestive issues. It’s available in strips of 10 tablets (৳40.10) and packs of 100 tablets (৳401.00), making it accessible for long-term therapy.

Primarily prescribed for calcium depletion, Acical treats conditions like hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, and pregnancy-related calcium needs. Its 1000 mg variant also relieves heartburn and acid indigestion. The tablet neutralizes stomach acid through a chemical reaction: CaCO₃+2HCl → CaCl₂+H₂O+CO₂, providing rapid symptom relief.

Dosage varies from 540-3000 mg daily, depending on age and condition. For chronic renal failure, 2.5-9 gm/day helps control hyperphosphataemia. Patients should take it with meals for optimal phosphate binding. Common side effects include constipation and GI irritation. Hypercalcaemia risk increases in renal patients or with overdosage.

Store Acical in cool, dry conditions below 30°C. Avoid combining it with digoxin or tetracyclines due to interaction risks. Pregnant/lactating women can safely use it under medical guidance. For alternatives, consider Acical Jr. 250 mg or consult physicians for personalized regimens.

Only take medicine on the advice of a registered doctor.

Dosage & Administration

Adults: 500-2000 mg/day (antacid), 1200-1500 mg/day in pregnancy. Renal patients: 2.5-9 gm/day. Take tablets with meals. Avoid prolonged use beyond 4-6 weeks without medical supervision.

Side Effects

Orally administered Acical may be irritating to the GI tract. It may also cause constipation. Hypercalcaemia is rarely produced by administration of calcium alone, but may occur when large doses are given to patients with chronic renal failure.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Category A. Safe during lactation. Do not exceed 1500 mg/day without monitoring.

Precautions & Warnings

Monitor serum calcium-phosphate in renal patients. Electrolyte monitoring needed for long-term use. Follow ACI Limited guidelines.

Use in Special Populations

Pediatrics: Safe (weight-based dosing). Elderly: Higher constipation risk. Renal patients: Effective phosphate binder in dialysis.
