About Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc
Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture.
Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc is a combination of Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), Ibandronic acid (biphosphonate), and Zinc. Calcium and Zinc are minerals that provide essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that raises Vitamin D levels and increases calcium levels in the blood. Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that reverses bone loss and increases bone mass.
Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition.

Medicinal Benefits
Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc is used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc consists of Calcium, Zinc, Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Ibandronic acid. Calcium and Zinc are minerals that provide essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Ibandronic acid belongs to the class of bisphosphonates. It reverses bone loss and increases bone mass. It works by inhibiting the action of osteoclasts (a bone cell that breaks down bone tissue), thus helping in the reduction of fractures.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. It is a silent disease since it is not revealed until a bone is broken easily or fractured. Osteoporosis can be triggered by many factors like age, sex, low calcium diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions like gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture. Thinning of bones can be prevented by treatment with medications, calcium supplements, a calcium-rich diet, and lifestyle changes.

Calcitriol in Calcitriol+calcium+ibandronic Acid+zinc can increase inorganic phosphate levels in serum; hence it should be cautiously used in patients undergoing dialysis to maintain adequate phosphorus levels and avoid ectopic calcification (calcium deposition). It is advised to follow a low phosphate diet to control serum phosphorus levels in patients undergoing dialysis.
