calcium carbonate + colecalciferol (Effik)

Natecal Vitamine D3 is a fixed-dose combination medicinal product containing calcium carbonate and colecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Developed by Effik (a subsidiary of the Italfarmaco Group), it is indicated for the correction of combined vitamin D and calcium deficiencies, particularly in the elderly, and as a supplement to specific treatments for osteoporosis. Calcium is a vital mineral for bone mineralization and maintenance, while colecalciferol acts as a secosteroid hormone that enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and regulates their plasma concentrations. The product is typically formulated as orodispersible or chewable tablets to improve patient compliance and facilitate administration without water.
