FAQs

STRONAT SACHETS 6GM containing the active substance Strontium Ranelate. It works by reducing bone breakdown and stimulating the rebuilding of bone and, therefore, reduces the risk of fracture.
“Osteo” means bone, and “porosis” means something with holes in it, like a sponge. Therefore, osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become more porous, gradually making them weaker, more brittle and more likely to break.
Persons whose age is more than 35 years have low estrogen levels, females reaching menopause, too much alcohol consumption, tobacco or caffeine, and lack of calcium and vitamin D in foods are some of the factors that can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
STRONAT SACHETS 6GM is part of a complete program that includes modifications in diet, regular exercise, bone mineral density testing, and calcium and vitamin supplements intake. Follow all the guidelines given by the doctor very closely.
STRONAT SACHETS 6GM may reduce calcium levels in the blood by preventing calcium reabsorption from bones to the blood. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe calcium and vitamin D supplements, and you may be advised to take them for at least ten days after receiving STRONAT SACHETS 6GM.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It is recommended to consume calcium and vitamin D in diet to strengthen 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.

  • Regular exercise, like weight-bearing exercises, is important for maintaining bone health.

  • Calcium is important for making bones strong. Vitamin D is equally important, which helps ensure calcium absorption and retention in bones, so take food high in calcium and vitamins.

  • Avoid or reduce the intake of caffeine, soft drinks, and alcohol that inhibit calcium absorption.
