Osso D Tab 3x10's

Osso D Tab 3X10S is a prescribed medication formulated with the active components calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). It is specifically indicated to address and prevent conditions characterized by low levels of calcium and vitamin D in the bloodstream.

Calcium carbonate, a vital mineral, plays a crucial role in fortifying bones and teeth, contributing to their strength and integrity. Meanwhile, cholecalciferol, a form of vitamin D3, facilitates the absorption of calcium within the body, aiding in maintaining optimal calcium levels.
