The detailed uses of OSTONEX CAPSULE include:</p><ul><li><strong>Treatment of osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis:</strong> OSTONEX CAPSULE helps in strengthening bones and reducing the risk of fractures by improving calcium absorption.</li><li><strong>Management of osteomalacia and rickets:</strong> OSTONEX CAPSULE supports healthy bone development and mineralization in conditions caused by vitamin D and calcium deficiencies.</li><li><strong>Correction of calcium and vitamin D deficiency:</strong> OSTONEX CAPSULE replenishes essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D (calcitriol), and zinc, necessary for bone health.</li><li><strong>Relief from tetany and hypoparathyroidism:</strong> OSTONEX CAPSULE helps manage low calcium levels in conditions where parathyroid hormone production is impaired.</li></ul>

Medicinal Benefits:

OSTONEX CAPSULE is a combination of three drugs: Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Zinc sulfate (mineral) used to treat low blood calcium levels and various associated conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Calcium is a mineral and prevents or treats calcium deficiency. It helps to maintain bone and teeth health. Calcitriol, a synthetic form of Vitamin D3, treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid gland's decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. Zinc sulfate is an important mineral in the normal growth and development of the skeletal system. It helps maintain bone density by increasing protein synthesis, which helps protect bone health.

FAQs

OSTONEX CAPSULE effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), and hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone). OSTONEX CAPSULE is also indicated in the treatment of psoriasis (a skin disease that causes itchy scaly patches), hypocalcaemia (low calcium levels in the blood) and hypomagnesaemia (low levels of magnesium in the blood) after small bowel resection.

OSTONEX CAPSULE is a combination of three medicines: Calcitriol, Calcium, and Zinc sulfate. Calcitriol helps your body absorb Calcium Carbonate and supports the muscles needed to avoid falls. Calcium and Zinc sulfate help build and maintain bones. Collectively, OSTONEX CAPSULE used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels).

OSTONEX CAPSULE is used to increase low calcium levels in the body. Hence, it is not advised to use OSTONEX CAPSULE during hypercalcemia since it causes an overdose of calcium, leading to kidney stones and other effects.

OSTONEX CAPSULE can cause kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition when used for a prolonged period. Please consult your doctor before taking OSTONEX CAPSULE as a daily supplement if you have kidney problems or a history of kidney stones.

Do not take it if you are allergic to OSTONEX CAPSULE or other ingredients present in OSTONEX CAPSULE. OSTONEX CAPSULE is not recommended in hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), metastatic calcification (extra deposits of calcium in the body), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), and renal failure.

Leafy greens like collard greens and kale, oranges, figs, milk, yoghurt and cheese are rich in calcium and vitamin D3. Seeds, nuts, beans, seafood and meat are rich in zinc.

OSTONEX CAPSULE helps maintain bone and teeth health. It aids the normal growth and development of the skeletal system.

Please consult the doctor if you are pregnant or think you are pregnant. OSTONEX CAPSULE should be used during pregnancy if advised by the doctor.
