Pharmacodynamics

Vitamins and minerals help to form and develop bone tissue, as well as nerve and muscle tissue. They are coenzymes of many important biochemical reactions occurring in the body, and at the same time help to control metabolism and the immune system response.

Phosphorus and calcium promote the formation of bone tissue in the body, as well as the proper growth and development of children's teeth and skeletal bones.

Vitamin D3 is a substance that helps regulate the exchange of phosphorus with calcium. It also helps to properly mineralize bones (including capturing bone tissue with calcium).

Pyridoxine controls carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, and in addition helps maintain the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Retinol helps the organs of vision function properly (for example, it helps synthesize visual pigment). Vitamin A also helps the proper development of epithelial tissue.

Vitamin C increases the rate of iron absorption in the digestive system, takes direct part in oxidation reactions, as well as carbohydrate metabolism and its restoration. In addition, this substance helps to develop the correct response of the immune system.

One tablet of Calcinova contains 10-15% of the total daily dose required by a child.

Interactions with other drugs

When combined with calcium, the intestinal absorption rate of antimicrobial drugs from the tetracycline category, as well as sodium fluoride, decreases. If it is necessary to combine the use of these drugs, they should be taken at least 3 hours apart.

Vitamin C enhances intestinal absorption of iron, and pyridoxine weakens the properties of levodopa.
