Reosto.

Action

Manages osteoporosis: Phytoestrogens in Reosto inhibit bone resorption (breaking down of bones). Reosto also negates the bone resorptive effects of parathyroid hormones and prostaglandins. The drug is rich in elemental calcium, which helps in better bioavailability of the mineral. This allows the optimum amount of mineral to be absorbed into the bone. Reosto stimulates bone formation and prevents the risk of osteoporotic fractures.[1]

Indications

  • Osteoporosis (loss of bone density due to the thinning of bone tissue), such as senile osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis
  • Prolonged immobilization following multiple or complex fractures, or surgery for multiple fractures

Key ingredients

  • Ayurveda texts and modern research back the following facts:
  • Indian Bdellium (Guggulu) helps in the remineralization of bones, increases bone mineral density (BMD) and supports connective tissues. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties are beneficial in alleviating bone pain.
  • Country Mallow (Bala) contain phytoestrogens, which help in bone remodeling.
  • Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and contains a bioactive compound required for calcium absorption. Ensuring optimum bioavailability of calcium is imperative for bone tissue growth and repair in the body.

Directions for use

  • Please consult your physician to prescribe the dosage that best suits the condition.

Side effects

  • Reosto is not known to have any side effects if taken as per the prescribed dosage.
