Who should consult a specialist before taking this complex? — Calcide+magnesium egg shell tablets N100

For most healthy adults, a calcium and magnesium complex is a familiar addition to the diet. The label advises consulting a doctor before use, and in a number of situations this is particularly important.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding. The label lists pregnancy and breastfeeding as contraindications, as well as individual intolerance to the ingredients, so the complex is not taken during these periods.
• A tendency to form kidney stones. Excessive calcium intake from supplements may be undesirable with some types of urolithiasis.
• Taking medicines. Calcium and magnesium can affect the absorption of a number of medicines — in particular, some antibiotics and medicines acting on bone tissue. A specialist will help you space the doses correctly or assess compatibility.
• Other mineral complexes in your diet. If you already take multivitamins or separate supplements containing calcium and magnesium, it is important not to exceed the total daily intake of these minerals.
• Kidney disease or calcium metabolism disorders. With such conditions, additional mineral intake requires medical supervision.

In the other cases listed, the supplement is not automatically contraindicated, but decisions on its use, dosage and course length are best made together with a doctor or pharmacist. The complex is given to children only from the age of 12, and because it is based on eggshell, it is not suitable for people with an egg allergy.
