About Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3

Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3 is used to prevent and treat age-related elderly osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis in women (after menopause). Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3 helps to reduce the risk of spine and hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bone becomes thin or weak. When a woman reaches her menopause stages, her ovaries stop making the female hormone (estrogen) responsible for maintaining a woman's bone health. Due to the loss of estrogen, bone loss starts, and bones become weak. The earlier a woman reaches menopause, the more the chances of osteoporosis. If proper treatment is not provided, it can even result in brittle bones, increasing bone fracture risk. 

Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3 consists of three medicines: Ibandronic acid (bisphosphonates), Calcium (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that prevents bone fracture by slowing bone loss, keeping the bones strong and increasing bone thickness. It also helps rebuild bones, reducing the risk of spine and hip fractures. Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone.

Medicinal Benefits

Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3 consists of three medicines, namely, Ibandronic acid (bisphosphonates), Calcium (mineral), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that helps maintain strong bones and reduces fracture chances. It also increases bone thickness and rebuilds bones, reducing the risk of spine and hip fractures. It is also indicated for the treatment of increasing bone mass in men with osteoporosis, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone. Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It is a provitamin that is converted into a vitamin after intake. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralisation. It treats and prevents bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Together, Goldcal-Kit Tablet (1+3 is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and the elderly (above 65 years of age), hypoparathyroidism, latent tetany, and rickets or osteomalacia.
