Onita 2g Sachet

Onita 2g Sachet contains Strontium Ranelate 2g, a bone-strengthening medicine for osteoporosis. Made by Pharmevo LIMITED., it is prescribed for osteoporosis. Pack size: 7pcs.

Uses of Onita 2g Sachet

Onita 2g Sachet is used to treat severe osteoporosis in women after the menopause and in men who are at high risk of fractures. Because of concerns about heart and blood clot risks, it is generally reserved for people who cannot use other osteoporosis treatments. Combined with enough calcium and vitamin D, it helps reduce the risk of spine and hip fractures.

How Onita 2g Sachet works

Strontium ranelate acts on bone in two ways. It encourages the cells that build new bone and slows down the cells that break old bone down. Over time this improves bone strength and density, making fractures less likely.

Possible side effects

Not everyone has side effects with Onita 2g Sachet, but the more common ones include:

• Tell your doctor if you are going to be immobile for a long time, such as after surgery, as the risk of clots increases.
