Rockbon Kit is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture.

Rockbon Kit contains Elemental Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Ibandronic acid (biphosphonate). Elemental Calcium provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that raises Vitamin D levels and increases calcium levels in the blood. Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that reverses bone loss and increases bone mass.

Your doctor will decide the duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Rockbon Kit can cause side effects like bone/muscle pain, muscle cramps, stiffness in joints, headache, back pain, indigestion, heartburn, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Rockbon Kit do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor. 

Please tell your doctor if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Brief your medical history to the doctor in advance if you have heart/kidney/liver diseases, kidney stones, and ulcers. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Rockbon Kit is not recommended for children and adolescents below 18 years.

Rockbon Kit is used to treat osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Rockbon Kit consists of Elemental Calcium, Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Ibandronic acid. Elemental Calcium provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 which helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Ibandronic acid belongs to the class of bisphosphonates. It reverses bone loss and increases bone mass. It works by inhibiting the action of osteoclasts (a bone cell that breaks down bone tissue), thus helping in the reduction of fractures.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Rockbon Kit. Rockbon Kit is not recommended if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, kidney stones, ulcers, swallowing or digestive problems, or inflammation of the gut. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant and breastfeeding. It is advised to limit alcohol consumption since it can affect calcium absorption. Rockbon Kit is not recommended for children and adolescents below 18 years.

• Include dairy products like milk, yoghurt, cheese, or milk-based custard in your diet.
• Eat daily a serving of broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, spinach, and other green leafy vegetables.
• Include zinc-rich sources like meat, shellfish, legumes, hemp seeds, nuts, eggs, dairy products, whole grains, potatoes, kale, and dark chocolate in your diet.
• Snack on calcium-rich nuts like Brazil nuts or almonds. 
• Sprinkle sesame seeds over your food, vegetables, and salads. Sesame seeds are high in calcium.
• Avoid or reduce the intake of caffeine, soft drinks, and alcohol, as they may inhibit calcium absorption.
• Replace the meat with tofu or tempeh for extra calcium in your food.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that makes the bones weak and brittle by decreasing bone density. It is a silent disease since it is not revealed until a bone is broken easily or fractured. Osteoporosis can be triggered by many factors like age, sex, low calcium diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions like gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Symptoms include backache, easily breaking bones, and hunched or stooped posture. Thinning of bones can be prevented by treatment with medications, calcium supplements, a calcium-rich diet, and lifestyle changes.
