Uses of Ostium Tablet

Benefits of Ostium Tablet

In Treatment and prevention of postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause or who are taking steroids. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Ostium K2 Kit slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone. You can also help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and Vitamin D, and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Supplements of calcium and Vitamin D3 are also effective.

FAQs

Q. What is Ostium K2 Kit? What is it used for?

Ostium K2 Kit belongs to a class of medicines called bisphosphonates that prevents abnormal breakdown of the bones. Ostium K2 Kit is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis and fractures in people with metastatic cancer (a cancer which spreads to newer areas of the body). It may also be used to treat hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels).

Q. How does Ostium K2 Kit work?

Ostium K2 Kit works by increasing the density of the bones which helps prevent osteoporosis. Along with that, it helps to treat high calcium levels in the blood caused due to secondary bone cancer. It is also helpful in treating metastasis of bone which is caused due to breast cancer.

Q. How long should I take Ostium K2 Kit?

Ostium K2 Kit should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. The medicine takes around 6 month to show its maximum benefits on bones.

Q. How to take Ostium K2 Kit?

It should be taken in the morning after getting up on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Do not lie down and stay fully upright for at least 60 minutes after swallowing the medicine. Avoid taking any food or other medication just after taking Ostium K2 Kit, maintain a gap of at least 30 minutes. Take this medicine only after consulting the doctor and follow the instructions advised.

Q. Why can you not lie down after taking Ostium K2 Kit?

One should not lie down after taking Ostium K2 Kit as there is a possibility that the medication might come back up into the esophagus (food pipe) and even damage the esophagus. Staying upright will help the medicine to settle down quickly in your stomach and prevent side effects like heartburn and pain.

Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Ostium K2 Kit?

If you forget a dose of Ostium K2 Kit, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Q. Is Ostium K2 Kit safe?

Ostium K2 Kit is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.

Q. What other lifestyle changes should I make?

To get maximum benefit from Ostium K2 Kit, there are certain lifestyle changes that you must adhere to. Include some calcium or Vitamin D rich foods for bone strength. Try to spend more time in sunlight to get natural vitamin D. Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption as they may harm your bones. You can take up an exercise regime such as walking and low-impact aerobics as they are good for your bones. Similarly, you can try strength-training exercises where you use your own body weight which in turn improve bone health.
