Uses of Osteokit Kit

Benefits of Osteokit Kit

In Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that causes bones to become fragile and brittle so that they break (fracture) more easily. Fractures may be painful and restrict a person’s ability to carry out their normal daily tasks. Osteokit Plus Combi Kit reduces the risk of a fracture occurring in osteoporosis. Calcium, vitamin D3 and zinc helps in the growth and development of bones as well as maintain strong bones. Since osteoporosis doesn’t usually have any symptoms such as pain (until a fracture occurs) you might not ‘feel’ any immediate benefit from your treatment with Osteokit Plus Combi Kit. Keep taking it untill your doctor asks you to stop. Along with medicines, eat a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D like dairy products, green leafy vegetables etc.

Side effects of Osteokit Kit

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Osteokit Kit

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label before use. Osteokit Plus Combi Kit is to be taken empty stomach.

How Osteokit Kit works

Osteokit Plus Combi Kit is a combination of two medicines: Ibandronic Acid, Calcium, Vitamin D3 and Zinc which treat osteoporosis. Ibandronic Acid is a bisphosphonate. It works by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts, cells that cause destruction of bone. This strengthens the bone and minimizes the risk of fractures. Calcium helps build and maintain bones, while Vitamin D3 helps your body effectively absorb Calcium. Vitamin D3 additionally supports the muscles needed to avoid falls. Zinc helps increase bone mass.
