Introduction: In Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a common condition that causes bones to become fragile and brittle so that they break (fracture) more easily. Fractures may be painful and restrict a person’s ability to carry out their normal daily tasks. Ikmag Kit reduces the risk of a fracture occurring in osteoporosis. It also helps in the growth and development of bones as well as maintain strong bones. Since osteoporosis doesn’t usually have any symptoms such as pain (until a fracture occurs) you might not ‘feel’ any immediate benefit from your treatment with Ikmag Kit. Keep taking it untill your doctor asks you to stop. Along with medicines, eat a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D like dairy products, green leafy vegetables etc.
Benefits: Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label before use. Ikmag Kit is to be taken empty stomach.

How to Use: Ikmag Kit is a combination of five medicines: Ibandronic Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Calcitriol, Vitamin MK and Zinc which treat osteoporosis. Ibandronic Acid is a bisphosphonate. It works by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts, cells that cause destruction of bone. This strengthens the bone and minimizes the risk of fractures. Calcium Carbonate helps build and maintain bones, while Calcitriol helps your body effectively absorb Calcium Carbonate. Calcitriol additionally supports the muscles needed to avoid falls. Vitamin MK and Zinc help increase bone mass.
