About CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CARBONATE+MAGNESIUM+SOYA ISOFLAVONES+VITAMIN K2 7
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CARBONATE+MAGNESIUM+SOYA ISOFLAVONES+VITAMIN K2 7 belongs to the class of medicines called dietary supplements used to prevent bone loss in peri and post-menopausal women. Perimenopause means the time around menopause during which ovaries produce less estrogen and stops releasing eggs. Postmenopause is a condition in which women have not had a period for 12 months or longer. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break
CALCITRIOL+CALCIUM CARBONATE+MAGNESIUM+SOYA ISOFLAVONES+VITAMIN K2 7 is a combination of five drugs, namely: Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium, Soya Isoflavones, and Vitamin K2-7. Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the stomach. Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Magnesium is a mineral that promotes the normal functioning of muscles. Soya isoflavones work by improving the health of the heart and strengthening bones in postmenopausal women. Vitamin K2 7 helps to maintain bone density.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop the production of estrogen (a female hormone) essential to keeping bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Also, long-term use of steroids may affect bone strength and cause osteoporosis in men and women. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
