Aristocal D Tablet 500 mg + 200 IU is a combination supplement of Elemental Calcium (500 mg) and Vitamin D3 (200 IU), formulated to support bone health and prevent calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. Calcium is an essential mineral required for strong bones and teeth, while Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) enhances calcium absorption from the gut, ensuring optimal bone mineralization. Aristocal D is commonly prescribed for individuals at risk of osteoporosis, osteopenia, or bone loss due to aging, menopause, or inadequate dietary intake.

This combination is particularly beneficial for postmenopausal women, elderly patients, and others who require long-term supplementation to maintain bone density and prevent fractures.

Indications

Aristocal D Tablet is indicated for:

• Prevention and treatment of calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency

• Osteoporosis and osteopenia in postmenopausal women and men at risk of fractures

• Supportive therapy for patients on corticosteroids or other medications affecting bone metabolism

• Rickets and osteomalacia prevention

• Promoting bone health in growing children and adolescents with inadequate dietary calcium

Therapeutic Class

Calcium and Vitamin D3 supplement

Pharmacology

Calcium:
Calcium is a vital mineral necessary for the structural integrity of bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. Elemental calcium in Aristocal D contributes directly to bone mineral content, helping prevent bone loss.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol):
Vitamin D3 facilitates intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and regulates serum calcium levels. It promotes proper bone mineralization and remodeling by stimulating osteoblast activity and maintaining bone strength. Deficiency in vitamin D3 can lead to decreased calcium absorption, bone softening, and increased risk of fractures.

The synergistic effect of calcium and vitamin D3 ensures adequate mineralization, improves bone density, and reduces the incidence of osteoporosis-related fractures.

Dosage and Administration

Adults:

• 1 tablet daily, or as prescribed by a healthcare professional

• Take with meals to enhance absorption

• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water

Special Populations:

• Elderly: Standard dosing is usually adequate, but calcium intake should be monitored for total daily intake

• Children and adolescents: Dose adjustments may be required based on age and dietary calcium intake

Drug Interactions

• May interact with tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and bisphosphonates, which may reduce absorption if taken simultaneously

• Thiazide diuretics may increase the risk of hypercalcemia

• Concurrent use with certain corticosteroids may reduce calcium absorption

Administer other oral medications at least 2 hours before or after Aristocal D.
