The drug CRAMPEX contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
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. |
2
Calcium gluconate
UNII SQE6VB453K - CALCIUM GLUCONATE
|
Calcium gluconate is the gluconate salt of calcium. An element or mineral necessary for normal nerve, muscle, and cardiac function, calcium as the gluconate salt helps to maintain calcium balance and prevent bone loss when taken orally. |
3
Nicotinic acid
UNII 2679MF687A - NIACIN
|
Niacin (nicotinic acid) is an essential B complex Vitamin (B3), whose deficiency results in the clinical syndrome known as pellagra. Nicotinamide (niacinamide), the active ingredient, is the physiologically active form of niacin and is the chemical form of Vitamin B3 found in virtually all multivitamin products. Though nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are so closely related chemically, they differ somewhat in pharmacological properties. |
