What is Mobical 500mg?

Mobical 500mg Tablets are an OTC calcium and Vitamin D3 supplement manufactured by Med Life Pharma. Each tablet provides elemental calcium and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) to support bone mineralisation, muscle function, and nerve transmission. These tablets are indicated for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency states, osteoporosis, and conditions requiring increased calcium intake.

How Does Mobical 500mg Work?

Calcium is the primary structural mineral of bone tissue, and Vitamin D3 is essential for intestinal calcium absorption and renal calcium reabsorption. Together, they maintain serum calcium within a narrow physiological range, support osteoblast activity for bone formation, and help prevent the resorption-dominant bone loss that characterises osteoporosis. Adequate calcium throughout life — especially post-menopause and in the elderly — reduces fracture risk. For bone health meal planning ideas, visit our supplements collection.

Dosage & Administration

Take one tablet once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Swallow with a full glass of water after a meal for optimal calcium absorption. Do not take with high-fibre foods or antacids containing aluminium within 2 hours of dosing. Consult your healthcare provider for dosing during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in children.

Side Effects

Mobical 500mg is well tolerated at recommended doses. Constipation is the most common side effect and can be managed with adequate water intake. Rarely, nausea or stomach upset may occur. Excessive calcium intake can lead to hypercalcaemia — do not exceed the recommended dose without medical supervision.

Precautions

Use with caution in patients with a history of kidney stones or hypercalciuria. Calcium supplements may reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics (tetracyclines, quinolones) and thyroid medications — space doses at least 2 hours apart. Inform your doctor of all supplements and medications. Not for use in hypercalcaemia or Vitamin D toxicity. Keep out of reach of children. Store at room temperature away from moisture.
