About Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's

Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's consists of three medicines: Calcium citrate (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Calcium citrate is a mineral that prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that treats calcium deficiency and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises the Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone. 

Your doctor will decide the duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's can cause side effects like constipation, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects of Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor. 

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, and kidney stones before starting Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's. Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption; hence, it is advised to limit alcohol intake while using Milky-OS Softgel Capsule 10's. Children should be given this supplement only when advised by the doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is less than the body's recommended requirement. 

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. 

Osteomalacia/Rickets: It is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening of bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. 

Tetany: It is a disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcaemia) in the body that causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box). 

Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany.
