IntraCal Tab
Description
IntraCal® contains Calcium Orotate, a calcium supplement with a functional amino acid chelating ligand - orotic acid. Orotic acid assists the transport of calcium through cellular membrane structures, facilitating the intracellular uptake of calcium, particularly in bone. Calcium Orotate also helps in the maintenance of healthy cartilage. Furthermore, Orotate is involved in the synthesis of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Calcium Orotate has the ability to penetrate complex cell membranes and it can be metabolized in cartilage.

Calcium can decrease absorption of the following drugs when taken together- biphosphonates (e.g. alendronates), quinolone antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) and tetracycline antibiotics (e.g. doxycycline, minocycline), levothyroxine, phenytoin (anticonvulsant), and tiludronate disodium (to treat Paget\\\'s disease). Thiazide-type diuretics can interact with calcium supplements, increasing the risks of hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.
