WHAT CALVIVE IS AND WHAT IT IS
USED FOR
Calvive contains a rich source of calcium which
is an essential mineral, necessary for bone
formation and maintenance.
Calvive is used in the prevention and treatment of
calcium deficiency, and may be used, with other
medicines, to prevent and treat a condition called
osteoporosis (weakening of the bones).Calvive
is also used, together with vitamin D
3
, for the
treatment of rickets (softening of growing bones
in children) and osteomalacia (softening of adults
bones).
Calcium is absorbed from the intestine and
distributed throughout the body in the blood.
Calcium plays an important role in several body
functions. It is essential for nerve, muscle and
heart function as well as for the clotting of blood.
In addition, it is necessary for many hormones
to work properly in the body. To carry out these
various roles, calcium must be available in the
appropriate concentration.
