1. In Post menopausal osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Unicalcin 100IU Injection slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone. The injection is given by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. 2. In Paget's disease: Paget’s disease is a condition that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue. Unicalcin 100IU Injection decreases the bone degeneration and helps in the regeneration of healthy bone tissue. You can help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and Vitamin D, and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Supplements of calcium and Vitamin D3 are also effective. 3. In Hypercalcemia: Calcium is a mineral found in different places in your body and has many functions including bone growth. Most of your calcium should be in your bones. When you have more calcium in your blood than normal it is called hypercalcemia. Unicalcin 100IU Injection reduces the amount of calcium in your blood. Being immobile makes hypercalcemia worse. Whenever possible you should take regular exercise, especially weight-bearing exercise. Do not take calcium or vitamin D3 supplements and try to decrease your intake of these in your diet.How to Use
