The drug CECALCIO KIDS contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Calcium carbonate
UNII H0G9379FGK - CALCIUM CARBONATE
|
|
Calcium carbonate releases, in a pH-dependent manner, calcium ions in the stomach. Calcium carbonate is widely used as antacid and extensively used as a dietary supplement. |
|
2
Vitamin D3
UNII 1C6V77QF41 - CHOLECALCIFEROL
|
|
In its biologically active form vitamin D3 stimulates intestinal calcium absorption, incorporation of calcium into the osteoid, and release of calcium from bone tissue. In the small intestine it promotes rapid and delayed calcium uptake. The passive and active transport of phosphate is also stimulated. |
|
3
Vitamin C
UNII PQ6CK8PD0R - ASCORBIC ACID
|
|
Ascorbic acid, coupled with dehydroascorbic acid to which it is reversibly oxidised, has a variety of functions in cellular oxidation processes. Ascorbic acid is required in several important hydroxylations, including the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline and appears to have an important role in metal ion metabolism, including the gastrointestinal absorption of iron and its transport between plasma and storage organs. |
