Uses of Ostonat Tablet
Benefits of Ostonat Tablet
In Treatment of Post menopausal osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is thinning and weakening of the bones, thus increasing the risk of fractures. This is common in women after the menopause and is called post menopausal osteoporosis. Ostonat Kit may reverse bone loss by stopping more loss of bone and increasing bone mass. This will reduce the risk of fractures in osteoporosis. Ostonat Kit also helps to keep bones strong and healthy. Since osteoporosis doesn’t usually have any symptoms such as pain (until a fracture occurs) you might not ‘feel’ any immediate benefit from your treatment with Ostonat Kit. Keep taking it untill your doctor asks you to stop.

Ostonat Kit is a combination of two medicines: Alendronic Acid, Calcium and Vitamin D3 which treat osteoporosis. Alendronic Acid is a bisphosphonate.
