One tablet once or twice daily.

Calcium citrate malate
It is the water soluble calcium supplement. It is the calcium salt of citric salt of citric acid and malic acid. It is supposed to have high bioavailability.

Calcitriol
It requires activation by 25-hydroxylation in liver. The enzyme 27-hydroxylase catalyses oxidation of side chain of sterol intermediates. This active form binds to the intracellular receptors and function as transcription factor to cause gene modulation. Vitamin D receptors forms complex with other intracellular receptors. It increases the serum concentration by increasing the absorption. It also causes increase in osteoclastic reabsorption and increases distal renal tubular reabsorption of calcium. It is absorbed through formation of calcium binding protein.

Vitamin K27
It produces its actions by forming bones by acting on bone matrix proteins.

Calcium citrate malate

Absorption
After administration the drug is absorbed by small intestine in presence of bile salt.

Distribution
Nearly about 99.8% of the drug is bound to plasma protein.

Excretion
The elimination half life of drug is 19-48hrs.

Calcitriol

Absorption
It is rapidly absorbed by the intestine with peak serum concentration achieving in 3-6hrs. The serum levels steady state is reaching in 7days with multiple dose administration.

Distribution
Nearly about 99.9% of the drug is bound to blood. The drug is transported to the blood by alpha-globulin vitamin D binding protein. It involves two pathways for its metabolism i.e 24-hydroxylase catabolism of calcitriol and the second is conversion of calcitriol by stepwise hydroxylation.

Excretion
The drug follows biliary excretion and excreted in feces.
