OSTEOFOS 70MG TABLET is used to manage osteoporosis (weak or brittle bones) in postmenopausal women. It helps to improve bone mass density in patients with weak bones and can also be used to manage osteoporosis caused by excessive use of corticosteroids (such as prednisone). It also helps in the management of Paget’s disease (abnormal bone growth due to disturbances in the normal span of bone cells).
OSTEOFOS 70MG TABLET contains Alendronic acid, which belongs to the group of medicines called Bisphosphonates. It inhibits bone loss and helps build bone mass and density. It works by attaching itself to the bone surface and then stopping the action of certain bone cells that destroy the bone mass. It also stabilizes the replacement of new bone tissue growth and stops abnormal bone growth.
