Calcium glycerophosphate

Calcium glycerophosphate is the Latin name of a drug whose active chemical is the calcium salt of 1,2,3-propanetriol mono (dihydrogen phosphate). Calcium glycerophosphate has the code CAS (registration in the register Chemical Abstracts Service) - 27214-00-2. It is produced in Lugansk HFZ in cardboard boxes with one or two non-jawed contour packs, each containing 10 tablets containing 200 mg of active ingredient. The company Veropharm (Russia, Belgorod) produces tablets with an active substance content of 0.5 g (500 mg), also in cell-free cells, 10 tablets each. It is used to regulate the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, as well as a tonic and fortifying agent that can stimulate metabolic processes in the body.

The drug contains calcium and phosphorus - very important mineral elements. Due to its chemical composition is important for the health of bones and teeth, since bones and teeth are largely composed of calcium phosphate and its derivatives. Bioavailability of calcium is incomparably higher than in another calcium containing the drug "Pantokalcine" (has nootropic effect) or, as it is also called, calcium gopantenate. The manufacturer's instruction contains information that Calcium glycerophosphate is dispensed without a prescription. Due to the good digestibility of calcium and phosphorus in the food industry, it is used as a food additive E383.

The basis for the use of the drug are such diseases as dystrophy, hypocalcemia (calcium content in the blood serum is reduced), rickets (a disease of infants due to a deficiency of bone formation due to calcium deficiency), and with a reduced overall body resistance (nervous Exhaustion, overwork, and malnutrition). It is allowed to prescribe the drug to pregnant and lactating women. One of the most well-known and described indications, when a doctor prescribes calcium glycerophosphate, are problems associated with interstitial cystitis, which lead to frequent urination and poor bladder control due to his chronic inflammation or the use of acidic foods.

Studies have shown that it is possible to significantly reduce the urge to urinate, and also to minimize the discomfort that people experience after consuming heavily acidic foods (tomatoes, fruit juices), calcium glycerophosphate can. The analogue of this drug, produced by the manufacturer AkPharma, has the trade name "Prelief". Each tablet contains 345 mg of calcium glycerophosphate (65 mg of elemental calcium). The drug also includes (as a processing aid) 0.25% magnesium stearate. Two tablets are equivalent to 690 mg of calcium glycerophosphate (130 mg of elemental calcium).

You can apply calcium glycerophosphate after a medical consultation. Self-irradiation can cause serious disorders in the body. Allergic reactions are possible, and there are contraindications to its use. These include: hypercalcemia (increased concentration in the blood plasma of calcium), hypersensitivity (to calcium, phosphorus or glycerin and its derivative), thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the lumen of the blood clots), thrombophlebitis (thrombosis, weighed down with inflammation of the vessel walls), as well as early Children's age (up to two years). With prolonged use, there is a risk of a decrease in the acidity of the stomach due to a decrease in the normal level of hydrochloric acid, which is necessary for the digestive process. Therefore, experts recommend that you limit the unreasonable intake of this medication.

Take calcium glycerophosphate inside 2 to 3 times a day. Adults are prescribed to consume in one dose from 200 mg (1 tablet veropharm) to 500 mg (2.5 tablets veropharm). For children older than two years, you can take from 50 mg (¼ table Veropharm) to 200 mg (1 tablet veropharm). It is recommended for complex therapy with iron preparations. It is taken regardless of food intake and from foods included in the diet. It should be recalled that this article does not replace medical advice, it is intended to prevent self-treatment.
