    Reserved for adults.

    • Calcium is the most abundant and important mineral in the human body. It is an essential building block for the bone structure.

It is therefore important to ensure, at any age, to consume enough.
    • Vitamin D is involved in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It plays an essential role in the mineralization of bones. Vitamin D, or calciferol, is one of the fat-soluble vitamins (fat-soluble). Vitamin D has two origins: food and production by the skin exposed to the sun's rays. People who live in regions with little sunshine or who go out little (elderly people) must pay particular attention to their food-related intakes.

    GLOSSARY (summary)


    allergy
    Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort occurring after contact with a particular substance, use of a medication, or ingestion of food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also result in digestive disorders.


    shortcomings
    Deficit usually involving nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. A diversified diet is the best prevention of deficiencies.


    cyclins
    Family of antibiotics used especially in the treatment of acne and certain genital infections.


    digitalis
    Family of drugs related to digitalis, substance derived from the purple foxglove (common plant). Digitalis, used in cardiology, slow down the heart and strengthen its contractions.


    diuretics
    Medication allowing increased kidney water removal. Most often, this loss of water follows the loss of salts caused by the drug (salidiuretic).
    Diuretics are mainly used in the treatment of high blood pressure, while their mechanism of action in this disease is poorly understood. They are also prescribed in acute or chronic heart failure, edema and other rarer ailments.
    These drugs cause loss of sodium and potassium (except for some of them called "potassium-sparing"). Their prolonged administration therefore requires regular blood potassium control, to avoid heart problems that may result from hypokalemia (lack of potassium in the blood). Lack of sodium is another possible but less frequent consequence of the prolonged use of diuretics; it is also detected by a blood test.


    hypercalcemia
    Excess of calcium in the blood, due to illness or the use of certain drugs (excess vitamin D).


    hypercalciuria
    Abnormal increase in calcium in urine.


    renal failure
    Inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste or medicinal substances. Advanced renal insufficiency does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine excreted. Only a blood test and creatinine dosage may reveal this disease.


    osteoporosis
    Fragilisation of the bones, which become porous and brittle.


    dosage
    Quantity and distribution of the dose of a drug according to the age, weight and general condition of the patient.


    angioedema
    Allergy edema usually affects the face. Quincke edema results in a sometimes spectacular swelling. Eyelids are often the first to be affected. In rare cases where edema affects the throat, respiratory problems may occur and urgent treatment is required.


    overdose
    Excessive intake of a drug may result in an increase in the intensity of adverse effects or even in the development of specific adverse effects.
    This overdose may result from accidental or voluntary poisoning for suicide, so consult your local Poison Control Center (listed in the appendix to the book). However, in most cases, overdose is the result of an error in the understanding of the prescription, or the search for an increase in efficacy by exceeding the recommended dosage. Finally, untimely self-medication may lead to excessive absorption of the same substance contained in different drugs. Some drugs are particularly prone to this risk because they are (wrongly) considered to be harmless: vitamins A and D, aspirin, etc. Stopping or decreasing drug intake helps to remove the disorders associated with an overdose.


    treatment
    Treatment that complements the action of a specific treatment, but generally does not achieve healing on its own.


    vitamin
    An essential ingredient for the growth and proper functioning of the body. Vitamin requirements are normally covered by a varied diet. In developed countries, only vitamin D deficiency, in the young child or the old man who is exposed to the sun, justifies systematic supplementation. Superior intake, especially with medicines, can lead to overdose and various disorders (mainly vitamins A and D).


    way
    • Pathway (route of administration) used to administer drugs: oral, sublingual, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal, transdermal.
    • Set of hollow organs allowing the passage of air (airways), food (digestive tract), urine (urinary tract), bile (bile ducts), etc.
