ALTRADAY

Altraday is prescribed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or spondylosis. This drug reduces the creation of prostaglandin in the body and helps in curbing fever, inflammation and joint pains. It is available in capsule form. Side effects may include short term memory loss, flatulence and belching, diarrhoea and dizziness. It also weakens the immunity system slightly and increases the chances of contracting infections.

Hi My mother aged 75 years. No sugar no bp. Reasonably healthy. But few days back her back bone compressed while travelling. Dr. Advises 3 week bed rest. And advises wear back support belt.
