Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's

Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's belongs to a group of medications called 'antiosteoporotic medications used to prevent and treat age-related elderly osteoporosis and postmenopausal osteoporosis in women (after menopause). Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's helps to reduce the risk of spine and hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bone becomes thin or weak. When a woman reaches her menopause stages, her ovaries stop making the female hormone (estrogen) responsible for maintaining a woman's bone health. Due to the loss of estrogen, bone loss starts, and bones become weak. The earlier a woman reaches menopause, the more the chances of osteoporosis. If proper treatment is not provided, it can even result in brittle bones, increasing bone fracture risk. 

Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's consists of three medicines: Ibandronic acid (bisphosphonates), Calcium (mineral) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that prevents bone fracture by slowing bone loss, keeping the bones strong and increasing bone thickness. It also helps rebuild bones, reducing the risk of spine and hip fractures. Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and mineralization of bone.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's. Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's passes into the breast milk; hence breastfeeding mothers need medical advice before starting Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's.

Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's consists of three medicines, namely, Ibandronic acid (bisphosphonates), Calcium (mineral), and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that helps maintain strong bones and reduces fracture chances. It also increases bone thickness and rebuilds bones, reducing the risk of spine and hip fractures. It is also indicated for the treatment of increasing bone mass in men with osteoporosis, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone. Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It is a provitamin that is converted into a vitamin after intake. Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D and helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and bone mineralisation. It treats and prevents bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. Together, Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's is used to treat low blood calcium levels. It effectively treats conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and the elderly (above 65 years of age), hypoparathyroidism, latent tetany, and rickets or osteomalacia.

Breastfeeding women should first consult with the doctor before taking Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's as it passes into breast milk and may affect the infant. Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's is not recommended if you have hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), have problems in the oesophagus (food pipe) and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food).  After taking this medicine, a person should sit upright or stand for at least half an hour, Ibandronic acid in Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's can cause serious stomach or oesophagus problems. Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's can increase the risk of jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis), especially in those treated with steroids, chemotherapy, radiation, cancer, blood cell disorders, and pre-existing dental problems. Brief your medical history if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance. Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's is only an only part of a complete program that includes diet modification, regular exercise, bone mineral density testing, and consuming calcium and vitamin supplements. Drinking alcohol can affect calcium absorption, therefore, it is advised to limit the alcohol intake while using Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's.

• A person should consume calcium and vitamin D in their diet as it helps make stronger bones and avoid everyday osteoporosis dangers.
• A post-menopausal woman should limit salt intake as it can pose a high risk of losing more bone minerals than other women of the same age.
• Do regular exercise like weight-bearing exercises which are important for maintaining bone health.
• Calcium is important for making bones strong. Vitamin D is equally important, which helps to ensure absorption and retention of calcium in bones, so take food high in calcium and vitamins.

• Certain diagnostic test like bone density scan should be done regularly to check bone mineral density (BMD) while using Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's. 
• Intake of Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's can cause false test result of bone imaging, so if you are taking Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's, let your doctor know before any bone test. 
• Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's may interfere with cholesterol tests, hence please inform your doctor and laboratory staff that you are taking Ibanplus-Kit Tablet 30's before undergoing blood tests.

Osteoporosis: It is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones. It usually happens in women after menopause and the elderly (men and women above 65 years of age). When a woman reaches her menopause stage, her ovaries stop making the estrogen, a female hormone responsible for keeping a woman’s bone health. Due to a lack of estrogen, the bone starts becoming weaker due to bone loss. The early a woman reaches the menopause stage, the greater the chances of osteoporosis. In starting days, osteoporosis does not show any symptoms.  However, if proper treatment is not provided, then it can even lead to broken bones. Initially, the bones don't hurt, and breaks in the spine's bones may go unseen until they cause height loss.  In Osteoporosis, bones there is a risk of bone fracture anytime during daily activities like lifting or even minor activities. Bones usually occur at the hip, spine, or wrist, leading to stooped posture (dowager’s hump) and loss of movement. 

Vitamin D deficiency: When a person cannot get enough Vitamin D through food and exposure to sunlight, it leads to vitamin D deficiency. It often leads to thin, brittle or misshapen bones.
