If you are using it to treat osteoporosis, you will also be prescribed other medicines. This medicine may be only part of a complete treatment program that includes making changes to your diet and taking calcium and vitamin supplements. Learn about the foods you should eat to ensure you get enough calcium and vitamin D.
Ferol Sachet has few side effects, and none are common. If you take too much, you may feel weakness, muscle pain, or a metallic taste in your mouth. If you experience any such side effects, speak with your doctor. They may be able to help you reduce or treat the symptoms.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have high calcium levels in your blood or if you have any heart, kidney, or liver disease. Some other medicines can decrease the absorption of vitamin D3, so let your doctor know all other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe.

Benefits of Ferol Sachet
In Treatment of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body. If you do not have enough calcium, it can damage your bones. Vitamin D will help keep your bones strong and healthy and reduce the risk of them becoming weak and more likely to break.
Regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption can help improve bone strength.
