Is she taking after a prescription?
Why twice daily?
Was there any childbirth within last 5years or any pregnancy?
Feeling lazy after calcium is not frequently seen. It should be taken after dinner to reduce its side effects of gastritis.
Next Steps
Need some more history for some more evaluation.

Ostocalcium chewable tablets contain calcium and phosphorous minerals that helps you to maintain strong bones. Some side effects are increased tiredness, loss of appetite, mood swings, nausea and vomiting, weakness etc. May I ask what was she prescribed the tablets for?
Next Steps
If the side effects persist for longer, please consult a physician. As of now, its alright. but if the effects persist you can substitute this medication with Calex 1000 or Calshine D. And please check her vitamin D and calcium levels at regular intervals so that dosage can be adjusted as required.
