Calcii lactas is a calcium supplement used for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency, particularly during periods of rapid growth, pregnancy, lactation, or in conditions affecting calcium absorption. Calcium is essential for bone health, and the normal functioning of muscles, nerves, and the heart.

The medication is taken orally, usually two or three times a day, as directed by a doctor. The dosage is adjusted based on the individual needs of the patient and the purpose of treatment.

Common side effects include constipation, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as hypercalcemia may occur, causing nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and confusion.

Calcii lactas is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless absolutely necessary. Patients should inform their doctor about all supplements and medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions. Additionally, it is important for patients to adhere to the recommended dosage to prevent overdose and complications associated with excess calcium.
