Ostriol Capsule

Ostriol Capsule is used to treat conditions caused by low levels of calcium and vitamin D in the body. The detailed uses of Ostriol Capsule are as follows:

• Postmenopausal osteoporosis: Ostriol Capsule strengthens bones and reduces the risk of fractures in women after menopause.
• Steroid-induced osteoporosis: Ostriol Capsule is used to prevent bone thinning in individuals taking long-term oral corticosteroids.
• Osteomalacia/Rickets: Ostriol Capsule helps to strengthen weak bones by enhancing calcium and phosphate absorption.
• Hypoparathyroidism: Ostriol Capsule manages low parathyroid hormone levels by regulating calcium levels.

• Take Ostriol Capsule with or without food as advised by your doctor.
• It is advised to take Ostriol Capsule once daily; however, follow your doctor’s recommendation regarding the dosage and duration.
• Swallow Ostriol Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

• Ostriol Capsule offers several medicinal benefits by helping to maintain strong and healthy bones through the prevention and treatment of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies.
• It reduces the risk of fractures, particularly in individuals with weakened bones such as those affected by osteoporosis.
• Ostriol Capsule supports proper bone growth in children and adolescents and aids in managing various bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia.
• It also helps relieve muscle cramps caused by low calcium levels and improves vitamin D status, which is important for immune function and overall bone health.
• It is an essential nutrient to maintain bone formation and maintenance.

• Avoid taking Ostriol Capsule if you are allergic to it.
• Before taking Ostriol Capsule, inform your doctor if you are undergoing hemodialysis due to kidney problems and have a stent in the heart.
• Ostriol Capsule may alter calcium levels, so it is recommended to monitor calcium levels in the blood and urine regularly.
• Inform your doctor immediately if you notice fever, increased thirst and urination, dehydration, bedwetting, constipation, and stomach pain, as they may be signs of very high calcium levels in your blood.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Ostriol Capsule.
• Higher doses of vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor.
• Do not take Ostriol Capsule if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), or malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).

• Include dairy products like milk, yoghurt, cheese, or milk-based custard in your diet.
• Eat a serving of broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, spinach, and other green leafy vegetables daily.
• Snack on calcium-rich nuts like Brazil nuts or almonds.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds over your food, vegetables, and salads. Sesame seeds are high in calcium.
