ARACHITOL 6LAC INJECTION contains Cholecalciferol which belongs to the group of medicines called Vitamin D analogs. It is a form of vitamin D used in the management of vitamin D deficiency conditions and for certain bone conditions such as thinning of the bone (osteoporosis) which will be given to you with other medicines.

Deficiency of vitamin D may occur when your diet or lifestyle does not provide you with enough vitamin D or when your body requires more vitamin D (for instance when you are pregnant).

Along with this management, your doctor might advise you to eat and drink foods that are rich in calcium. Your doctor might want to take certain blood tests prior to the management to understand the existing condition.

ARACHITOL 6LAC INJECTION is not recommended for use if you have high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcaemia) or urine (hypercalciuria), are suffering from liver problems, kidney failure, kidney stones or have a tendency to form kidney stones, high levels of vitamin D in blood (hypervitaminosis).

Before taking ARACHITOL 6LAC INJECTION, inform your doctor if you have any kind of heart disease or narrowing of the arteries, sarcoidosis (a multisystem chronic inflammatory condition which can affect your lungs, heart and kidneys) or if you are taking any medicines or food containing vitamin D. 

ARACHITOL 6LAC INJECTION should be used with caution among women who are pregnant and breastfeeding because too much vitamin D may harm your baby.
