Directions

Ingredients

Cautions
- Calvive 1000 Effervescent Tablets contains 30mg aspartame (E951) in each effervescent tablet. Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine and may be harmful if you have phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine builds up, because the body cannot remove it properly.
- Calvive 1000 Effervescent Tablets contain 136.90mg of sodium per tablet. This is equivalent to 6.9% of the recommended maximum daily intake of sodium for an adult. Patients on a controlled sodium diet should seek advice from health professionals prior to taking.
- Calvive 1000 Effervescent Tablets contains 180 nanogram benzyl alcohol in each effervescent tablet. Benzyl alcohol may cause allergic reactions and has been linked with the risk of severe side effects including breathing problems (called "gasping syndrome") in young children.
