FAQs About BONANSA TABLET

How does BONANSA TABLET work?

BONANSA TABLET works by increasing calcium levels in the blood. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of nerves, cells, muscle, and bone. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, then the body will take calcium from bones, thereby weakening bones.

What is BONANSA TABLET used for?

BONANSA TABLET is used to manage or manage calcium deficiency states. It can be used to manage conditions of bone (osteomalacia, rickets), tetany (problems with muscles), and malabsorption syndrome. It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium (such as women who are pregnant or lactating).

Can I take water tablets along with BONANSA TABLET?

No, Thiazide diuretics (also called water tablets) reduce the urinary excretion of calcium. Due to increased risk of hypercalcaemia, serum calcium should be regularly monitored during concomitant use of thiazide diuretics.

Can BONANSA TABLET be used in pregnant women?
