Before using Nelcium, inform your doctor if you have allergies to calcium salts or any of its ingredients, heart conditions, kidney problems that cause low calcium levels, excess calcium in your blood or urine, breathing issues, dangerously rapid heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation), high levels of vitamin D (as in sarcoidosis), or a history of kidney stones.

If any of these symptoms persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Additionally, notify your doctor if you have a hypersensitivity to calcium carbonate, calcitriol, or any other ingredients in the medication.
