Flurish Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'bisphosphonates' used to prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis. It is indicated in adults for the prevention of skeletal events such as pathological fractures and bone complications requiring surgery or radiotherapy in patients with bone metastases or breast cancer. Flurish Tablet may also be used to lower hypercalcemia (higher levels of calcium in the blood). Flurish Tablet contains 'Ibandronic acid', which suppresses the activity of osteoclasts and makes the bone stronger. It lowers the risk of getting a fracture and reduces pain in the bones. Flurish Tablet may reverse bone loss by increasing bone mass and stopping more bone loss.
