About Gemitrol Kit

Gemitrol Kit is a combination medicine used to treat calcium deficiency and osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins the bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.

Gemitrol Kit contains Calcitriol (a form of vitamin D3), Risedronate sodium, Calcium carbonate, and Zinc. Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 that increases the absorption of calcium, thereby increasing calcium levels in the blood. Calcium carbonate is a mineral used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Risedronate sodium works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that destroys bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong, and minimizes the risk of bones breaking. Zinc is essential for growth, cell function and bone metabolism.

Take Gemitrol Kit as advised by the doctor. Sometimes, Gemitrol Kit may cause side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, gas, nausea, headache and constipation. Most of these side effects of Gemitrol Kit do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to Gemitrol Kit or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before taking Gemitrol Kit. Gemitrol Kit is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. If you are on dialysis, inform your doctor before taking Gemitrol Kit.
