Elevosteo 250mcg Injection belongs to the class of medication called 'anabolic (promoting bone formation) agent' indicated for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in adults and helps to strengthen the bone. This medicine also helps to reduce the risk of spine and hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bone becomes thin or weak. The chance of developing osteoporosis increases with age, after menopause or by taking corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for a long period. If proper treatment is not provided then it can even result in broken bones.

It also increases the thickness of bone and rebuilds bones which reduces the risk of spine and hip fractures.

• A person should consume calcium and vitamin D in their diet as it helps make stronger bones and avoid everyday osteoporosis dangers.
• A post-menopausal woman should limit salt intake as it can pose a high risk of losing more bone minerals than other women of the same age.
• Do regular exercise like weight-bearing exercises which are important for maintaining bone health.
• Calcium is important for making bones strong. Vitamin D is equally important, which helps to ensure the absorption and retention of calcium in bones, so take food high in calcium and vitamins.
