Osteomax Tablet

Introduction

Osteomax is a medication that combines the active ingredients Calcium citrate, Magnesium Hydroxide, Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate, and Vitamin D3. It is commonly used to support bone health and manage conditions related to calcium and vitamin D deficiencies.

Uses

Osteomax is prescribed to individuals who require additional calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D3 supplementation. It is commonly used in the treatment and prevention of conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels).

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Osteomax may vary depending on individual needs and the severity of the condition being treated. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or as indicated on the product packaging. Typically, Osteomax is taken orally with water, preferably with or after meals. Swallow the tablet whole and not crush or chew it, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action

Osteomax works by providing essential nutrients to the body. Calcium citrate helps to maintain strong bones and teeth, while magnesium hydroxide supports muscle and nerve function. Zinc sulphate monohydrate plays a role in immune function and wound healing, and vitamin D3 aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort. Consult your healthcare professional if these side effects persist or become bothersome.

Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, severe stomach pain, or irregular heartbeat. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Osteomax may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and certain heart medications. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

Precautions

Before taking Osteomax, inform your healthcare professional if you have any known allergies or medical conditions, especially kidney problems or hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels). Additionally, certain medications or substances, such as thiazide diuretics or excessive alcohol consumption, may interact with Osteomax. Your healthcare professional will determine if this medication is suitable for you based on your individual medical history.
