About CALCIUM CITRATE+ZINC OXIDE+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+MENAQUINONE+CHOLECALCIFEROL

CALCIUM CITRATE+ZINC OXIDE+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+MENAQUINONE+CHOLECALCIFEROL belongs to the group of medicines called 'multivitamins and multiminerals' used to treat and prevent Osteoporosis. Besides this, CALCIUM CITRATE+ZINC OXIDE+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+MENAQUINONE+CHOLECALCIFEROL effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body. Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones, making them more brittle and prone to breaking. It develops slowly over time and is frequently identified only after a fall or fracture.

CALCIUM CITRATE+ZINC OXIDE+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+MENAQUINONE+CHOLECALCIFEROL contains Calcium Citrate, Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Menaquinone, and Cholecalciferol. Calcium citrate provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Cholecalciferol helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the stomach. Magnesium oxide and Zinc oxide are minerals that provide essential nutrients to the body. Menaquinone helps build and maintain bones.

    Diet & Lifestyle Advise

    • An appropriate exercise can help you manage your weight, keep your joints flexible, strengthen muscles around your joints, and offers more support.
    • Weight is the most essential connection between diet and osteoporosis. Obesity or being overweight puts more strain on your joints. Inflammation is also caused by excess fat, which can exacerbate symptoms. Losing weight has been shown to decrease pain and improve physical function and mobility.
    • By maintaining muscle strength, regular exercise is likely to help symptoms.
    • A diet that's rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can help boost your immune system and your overall health.
    • Avoid a diet rich in red meat, processed foods, saturated fat, added sugar and salt as they might aggravate inflammation, which is a characteristic of arthritis.
    • Limit alcohol and caffeine intake and quit smoking.

    Special Advise

    It is recommended that serum electrolyte concentrations and cardiac function be monitored clinically.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. It is a silent disease since it is not revealed until a bone is broken easily or fractured. Osteoporosis can be triggered by many factors like age, sex, low calcium diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions like gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture. Thinning of bones can be prevented by treating with medications, calcium supplements, a calcium-rich diet, and lifestyle changes.
