The kit contains a single tablet called ibandronate which can cause your symptoms. Rest all are calcium tablets only in my opinion as you are only 26 years you do not require this medicine which is given for osteoporosis you can continue taking calcium tablet as you have already taken the single ibandronate in the kit. Nevertheless you can take vitamin d 3 60 k once a week for 2 monthhs.

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, in women following menopause because of lack of estrogens there is an increase in the bone loss. This leads to osteopenia and later osteoporosis. Therefore treatment for preventing the bone loss is to give estrogens or a combination of estrogen & progestin plus calcium and vitamin d3. The drug prescribed to you also is supposed to help reduce the bone loss. There are some side effects, but if you can tolerate the same then please go ahead. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user! it seems that you have cervical spondylosis. There are certain things you should avoid. You should sleep in proper posture and don't be seated for long time. Avoid using smartphone for long time. You should regularly do neck exercises. Osteoporosis doesn't tend to cause neck pain itself, it's more related to back pain so getting treatment of osteoporosis for neck pain seems irrelevant. You should see a physiotherapist and and orthopedic doctor for this.

Uses of deca-durabolin injection treatment of post menopausal osteoporosis. So decide urself. Remember there is no medicine to gain or lose weight. U can try this - 1. 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). Or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't drink water before meals. This can fill your stomach and make it harder to get in enough calories. 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U can eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits (eat whole fruit not juice), a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk, a cheese cube/slice/ banana shake etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. 7.take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8. Drink lot of water9. Everyday preferably sleep on same time 10. Maintain active life style. Exercise to gain weight swimming:jogging:lunges and squats:bench press:deadlifts:yoga:pull-ups:upright barbell rows and dumbbell shoulder press lifting weight is important too, so that the additional calories can be used to build muscle instead of just adding fat. 11. Don't smoke. Smokers tend to weigh less than non-smokers, and quitting smoking often leads to weight gain.
