Shelcal XT is a
calcium carbonate,
Vitamin D3, and zinc supplement, and it is perfectly safe to crush or chew before swallowing. Unlike extended-release or enteric-coated tablets (which should never be crushed), calcium carbonate tablets are not in that category â in fact, some calcium supplements are specifically designed as chewables. Crushing it and swallowing with water will not affect its effectiveness or cause any harm.
