Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Children can take calcium carbonate D3 tablets, but only under the guidance of a doctor and based on the child's specific condition and needs. Calcium carbonate D3 is a calcium-regulating medication primarily used for calcium supplementation in menopausal women, lactating women, and the elderly. Calcium is an essential element for maintaining the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems, and it promotes bone formation in children, supporting healthy skeletal development. During treatment with calcium carbonate D3 tablets, increased sun exposure is also recommended to enhance calcium absorption.
