OSTEOCARE Tablets

What is OSTEOCARE

OSTEOCARE tablets are a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement that supports bone health and overall well-being. Each tablet contains a precise blend of key nutrients including Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), and Zinc, which work together to maintain strong bones, healthy muscle function, and a balanced immune system.

• Calcium: The cornerstone of bone tissue, essential for bone strength, teeth integrity, and muscle contraction.
• Magnesium: A mineral that supports calcium absorption, contributes to normal muscle function, and regulates heartbeat and nerve function.
• Vitamin D3: A fat-soluble vitamin that facilitates calcium and phosphorus absorption in the gut, vital for bone mineralization and immune support.
• Zinc: Important for cell division, bone matrix formation, and immunity, while supporting tissue growth and repair.

OSTEOCARE tablets are ideal for individuals at risk of bone demineralization, including postmenopausal women, elderly individuals, growing children, and those with limited sun exposure or dietary calcium intake.

How to use OSTEOCARE

OSTEOCARE tablets are for oral use only and should be taken with a full glass of water. Proper use ensures maximum absorption and minimizes the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.

• Recommended Timing: Take tablets with or after a meal to improve vitamin D absorption and reduce stomach upset.
• Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the tablets unless advised otherwise.
• Hydration: Drink water when taking the tablet to aid in swallowing and reduce esophageal irritation.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose — do not double up.

Maintain consistent daily use for optimal results. OSTEOCARE is intended as a supplement to a healthy diet, not a replacement. Avoid taking other calcium or vitamin D supplements concurrently without medical advice to prevent overdose.

Mode of Action OSTEOCARE

OSTEOCARE works through the synergistic effects of its active ingredients, each playing a role in the maintenance of skeletal and muscular health.

• Calcium: Acts as the primary mineral in bones and teeth. It is also critical in neuromuscular signaling and blood clotting.
• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestines, facilitates calcium deposition into bones, and regulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
• Magnesium: A cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions, it helps convert vitamin D into its active form and supports bone structure and density.
• Zinc: Involved in collagen formation and bone tissue renewal. It enhances osteoblastic (bone-building) activity and plays a vital role in immune and antioxidant functions.

Together, these nutrients promote the preservation of bone mass, especially in populations prone to bone density loss. They also contribute to muscle function, immune health, and metabolic balance.

OSTEOCARE Interactions OSTEOCARE

While OSTEOCARE is generally well-tolerated, interactions with other medications or supplements may occur. It's important to be aware of these potential interactions to avoid therapeutic interference or reduced absorption.

• Thyroid Hormones (e.g., Levothyroxine): Calcium and magnesium can reduce the absorption of thyroid medications. A 4-hour gap is recommended between intake.
• Antibiotics: Tetracyclines and quinolones may have decreased efficacy if taken concurrently with calcium or magnesium. Separate doses by at least 2 hours.
• Diuretics: Thiazide diuretics can increase serum calcium levels. Monitor calcium levels during concurrent use.
• Iron Supplements: Zinc and calcium can inhibit iron absorption. Administer at different times of the day.
• Antacids: Taking magnesium-containing antacids may lead to excess magnesium intake.

Always consult a healthcare provider before starting OSTEOCARE if you are on any long-term medication or have pre-existing health conditions.

Dosage of OSTEOCARE

OSTEOCARE dosage should be tailored to individual needs based on age, gender, and risk of deficiency. Below is a general guideline, but adherence to medical advice is essential.

• Adults: 1–2 tablets daily with a main meal
• Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women: 2 tablets daily or as directed by a healthcare provider
• Elderly: 2 tablets daily to prevent age-related bone loss
• Children & Adolescents: Tablet form is not typically recommended unless directed by a doctor

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake unless advised. Overconsumption may lead to hypercalcemia or other imbalances. Long-term use should be monitored by periodic evaluation of serum calcium and vitamin D levels.

Possible side effects of OSTEOCARE

OSTEOCARE tablets are usually well tolerated, especially when taken as directed. However, side effects may occur, particularly if used improperly or in combination with other supplements.

• Common Side Effects:
  • Constipation
  • Nausea or bloating
  • Indigestion
• Less Common but Serious:
  • Hypercalcemia (symptoms include nausea, confusion, muscle weakness)
  • Kidney stone formation (especially with prolonged high-dose use)
  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, or shortness of breath)

Should any adverse symptoms appear or persist, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider. Special monitoring may be necessary in individuals with kidney disease or a history of hypercalcemia.

OSTEOCARE Contraindications OSTEOCARE

Certain individuals should avoid taking OSTEOCARE tablets or should do so only under strict medical supervision:

• Hypercalcemia: Elevated blood calcium levels contraindicate calcium supplementation.
• Renal Impairment: Those with severe kidney disorders may be at risk of magnesium or vitamin D accumulation.
• Hypervitaminosis D: Excessive levels of vitamin D in the blood is a contraindication.
• History of Kidney Stones: Especially calcium oxalate stones.
• Allergy to Ingredients: Patients allergic to any active or inactive ingredients should avoid use.

Medical consultation is advised before starting OSTEOCARE, especially if other supplements or medications are being taken or if the patient has chronic health conditions.

Storage of OSTEOCARE

Proper storage of OSTEOCARE tablets ensures potency and safety:

• Temperature: Store below 25°C (77°F) in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
• Packaging: Keep in the original blister or container to protect from air and humidity.
• Seal: Ensure the container is properly sealed to maintain freshness and efficacy.
• Child Safety: Store out of the reach and sight of children to avoid accidental ingestion.
• Expiry: Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging. Dispose of unused tablets properly.

Avoid storing in the bathroom or refrigerator. Any damaged or discolored tablets should not be consumed.
