Calcimax OP Plus Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called dietary supplements used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.

Calcimax OP Plus Tablet contains Calcium, Calcitriol (a form of vitamin D3), Selenium, and Zinc. Calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 that increases the absorption of calcium, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood. Selenium helps to maintain bone mineral density. Zinc is essential for growth, cell function and bone metabolism.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop production of estrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs making bones weak and more likely to break. Also, long-term use of steroids may affect bone strength and cause osteoporosis in both men and women. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
