CALCIUM+VITAMIN D3+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+ISOFLAVONES belongs to the class of medicines called dietary supplements used to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). 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.
CALCIUM+VITAMIN D3+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+ISOFLAVONES contains Calcium (mineral), Vitamin D3, Magnesium oxide (mineral supplement) and isoflavones. Calcium is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency in people who do not get enough calcium from their diet. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorous. Thereby increases calcium levels in the blood and helps to build and maintain strong bones. Magnesium oxide is a mineral supplement essential for bone mineralisation and the formation of the bone matrix. Isoflavones work by preventing bone loss and strengthening bones.
Take CALCIUM+VITAMIN D3+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+ISOFLAVONES as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience stomach pain, nausea, loss of appetite, constipation or excessive thirst. Most of these side effects of CALCIUM+VITAMIN D3+MAGNESIUM OXIDE+ISOFLAVONES do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

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 production of oestrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep 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 both men and women. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
