PharmacologyView
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. This agent may also be chemopreventive for colon and other cancers.
The Calcium Carbonate from Coral has a chemical structure that is very similar to the composition of human bone. Coral Calcium is similar to other sources but ensures better absorption. Vitamin D3 aids in the absorption of Calcium from GI tract and helps to maintain Calcium balance in the body. Calcium is used as a pharmacological agent in humans almost entirely to remedy the deficiency. Adequate calcium in the blood is so vital to a wide variety of bodily functions that our internal biochemistry will not tolerate a deficiency even for short periods.
Vitamin C is an essential component of the diet as humans cannot synthesize Vitamin C. It is a very powerful reducing agent and plays an important part in the response of the body to stress. It is important in the defense against infections.
Vitamin D is also essential for healthy bones as it aids in calcium absorption from the GI tract. In addition to this it stimulates bone formation. Clinical studies show that calcium and vitamin D has synergistic effects on bone growth as well as in osteoporosis and fracture prevention.

Corabid
Ivabradine
Corabid
Ivabradine
Indications
Chronic stable angina
Indication detailsView
Symptomatic treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris in coronary artery disease patients with normal sinus rhythm. Ivabradine is indicated:
- In patients unable to tolerate or with a contra-indication to the use of beta-blockers or
- In combination with beta-blockers in patients inadequately controlled with an optimal beta-blocker dose and whose heart rate is > 60 bpm.
Therapeutic classView
Other Anti-anginal & Anti-ischaemic drugs
PharmacologyView
Ivabradine is a pure heart rate lowering agent. It acts by selective and specific inhibition of the cardiac pacemaker I f current that controls the spontaneous diastolic depolarization in the sinus node and regulates heart rate. By decreasing heart rate, Ivabradine decreases the cardiac workload and therefore oxygen consumption. Concomitantly, Ivabradine prolongs diastole allowing increased perfusion of coronary arteries and increased oxygen supply to the heart. The cardiac effects are specific to the sinus node with no effect on intra-atrial, atrioventricular or intraventricular conduction times, nor on myocardial contractility or ventricular repolarization.
DosageView
Adult: The usual recommended starting dose of Ivabradine is 5 mg twice daily which may be increased after 3-4 weeks of treatment to 7.5 mg twice daily, depending on therapeutic response. Usual dose is 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening during meals. If the heart rate decreases persistently below 50 bpm at rest or if symptoms related to bradycardia, the dose must be adjusted downwards to 2.5 mg twice daily (one half of the 5 mg tablet twice daily). Treatment must be discontinued if heart rate remains below 50 bpm or symptoms of bradycardia persist.
Elderly: Consider a lower starting dose (2.5 mg twice daily i.e. one half 5 mg tablet twice daily).
Elderly: Consider a lower starting dose (2.5 mg twice daily i.e. one half 5 mg tablet twice daily).
Side effectsView
Visual symptoms, blurred vision, bradycardia, 1st degree AV block, ventricular extrasystoles, headaches, and dizziness.
ContraindicationsView
History of hypersensitivity to Ivabradine or any of the excipients, resting heart rate below 60 bpm before treatment, cardiogenic shock, acute myocardial infarction, severe hypotension (<90/50 mmHg), severe hepatic insufficiency, sick sinus syndrome, sino-atrial block, heart failure, pacemaker dependent, unstable angina, 3rd degree AV block, combination with strong cytochrome P-450 3A4 inhibitors (such as azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors).
PrecautionsView
Mild to moderate hypotension, atrial fibrillation, patients with congenital QT syndrome or treated with QT wave prolonging medicinal products, Moderate hepatic insufficiency, severe renal insufficiency.
InteractionsView
QT wave prolonging medicinal products is not recommended. Cardiovascular QT wave prolonging medicinal products (e.g. quinidine, disopyramide, bepridil, sotalol, ibutilide, amiodarone). Non cardiovascular QT wave prolonging medicinal products (e.g. pimozide, ziprasidone, sertindole, mefloquine, halofantrine, pentamidine, cisapride, intravenous erythromycin). The concomitant use of cardiovascular and non cardiovascular QT wave prolonging medicinal products with ivabradine should be avoided since QT wave prolongation may be exacerbated by heart rate reduction. If the combination appears necessary, close cardiac monitoring is needed.
Pregnancy & lactationView
Studies in rats have shown no effect on fertility in males and females. There are no or limited amount of data from the use of ivabradine in pregnant women. Therefore, ivabradine is contra indicated during pregnancy. Animal studies indicate that ivabradine is excreted in milk. Therefore, ivabradine is contra-indicated during breast-feeding.
Pediatric usageView
- Renal insufficiency: Use with caution in patients with creatinine clearance
- Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with moderate hepatic impairment; Contraindicated in severe hepatic impairment.
- Children and adolescents: Not recommended.

Coralcal-Kit
Ibandronic Acid + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin D3
Coralcal-Kit
Ibandronic Acid + Calcium Carbonate + Vitamin D3
Indications
Osteoporosis
Indication detailsView
This kit is indicated for the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis. It increases Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and reduces the incidence of vertebral fractures.
Therapeutic classView
Bisphosphonate preparations
PharmacologyView
Ibandronic Acid (Ibandronate Sodium Monohydrate) is a nitrogen- containing bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The action of Ibandronate on bone tissue is based on its affinity for hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone. Ibandronate inhibits osteoclast activity and reduces bone resorption and turnover. In postmenopausal women, it reduces the elevated rate of bone turnover, leading to, on average, a net gain in bone mass.
The combination of Coral Calcium and Colecalciferol is composed of Calcium Carbonate with small amounts of Magnesium and other Trace minerals. Coral Calcium ensures better absorption than Calcium of other Calcium Carbonate origin due to its chemical structure that is very similar to the composition of human bone Calcium Carbonate. Vitamin-D aids in the absorption of Calcium from GI tract and helps to maintain Calcium balance in the body.

PrecautionsView
Ibandronic Acid:
- Upper Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions: Ibandronic acid like other bisphosphonates administered orally may cause local irritation of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa. Because of these possible irritant effects, caution should be used when Ibandronic acid is given to patients with active upper gastrointestinal problems (such as known Barrett’s esophagus, dysphagia, other esophageal diseases, gastritis, duodenitis or ulcers).
- Hypocalcaemia and Mineral Metabolism: Treat hypocalcemia and other disturbances of bone and mineral metabolism before starting therapy.
- Musculoskeletal Pain: Severe and occasionally incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking Ibandronic acid and other bisphosphonates.
- Jaw Osteonecrosis: Osteonecrosis, primarily in the jaw, has been reported in patients treated with bisphosphonates. Most cases have been in cancer patients undergoing dental procedures, but some have occurred in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or other diagnoses.
InteractionsView
Ibandronic Acid: Products containing calcium and other multivalent cations (such as aluminum, magnesium, iron), including milk, food, and antacids are likely to interfere with absorption of Ibandronate. It is also found to interact with H2 blockers such as Ranitidine in several clinical trials..
Calcium (Coral) and Vitamin-D: Oral Calcium can reduce the absorption of tetracycline & fluoride preparations and minimum 3 hours’ time should be allowed between ingestion of these medications. Thiazide diuretics reduce the renal excretion of Calcium. Phenytoin, barbiturates, glucocorticoids may induce metabolism of Vitamin D. Concomitant intake of certain foods like spinach, cereals, milk and its derivatives may reduce the intestinal uptake of Calcium.
