Usually there are no obvious side effects when calcium deficient people take calcium tablets as prescribed by the doctor, but some patients may experience belching (hiccups), constipation, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other side effects after taking calcium tablets if they are not deficient in calcium or use calcium tablets indiscriminately on their own.
If it is clear that the body is deficient in calcium, patients taking calcium tablets as prescribed by the doctor can effectively replenish the calcium needed by the body, which usually has no side effects and is beneficial to the body’s health. However, some patients taking calcium tablets may experience belching, constipation, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other side effects.
However, for some people who are clear that the organism is not deficient in calcium and those who use calcium tablets indiscriminately on their own, the main harm is that too much calcium in the body induces hypercalcemia, and even increases the risk of kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones and other diseases.
For patients with calcium deficiency, in addition to taking calcium tablets, calcium can also be supplemented through diet, such as milk, soy milk, lean meat, kelp, walnuts, fish and shrimp and other calcium-rich foods, and daily physical exercise can be appropriate to go out in the sun and other calcium supplements.
It is recommended to take calcium tablets under the guidance of a doctor, and not to use calcium tablets indiscriminately or adjust the dosage of calcium tablets at will.
