Bone Lift 0.5mcg Tablets (30’s) – Alfacalcidol for Vitamin D Deficiency & Bone Health Support

Description:

Bone Lift 0.5mcg Tablets contain Alfacalcidol, a form of vitamin D used to treat and prevent disorders related to calcium and phosphate imbalance in the body.

It helps improve bone strength, mineralization, and calcium absorption, making it an essential treatment for conditions such as osteoporosis, renal osteodystrophy, rickets, and hypocalcemia (low calcium levels).

Bone Lift promotes healthy bone formation and prevents bone softening or deformities, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or vitamin D deficiency.

Ingredients:

Each tablet contains:

• Alfacalcidol – 0.5 micrograms (mcg)

Inactive ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, and other excipients.

Drug Class:

• Vitamin D Analog / Calcium Regulator

Dosage Form:

• Oral Tablet

Uses:

Bone Lift 0.5mcg is used to treat and manage:

• Vitamin D deficiency

• Osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones)

• Renal osteodystrophy (bone disorder due to chronic kidney disease)

• Rickets and osteomalacia (bone softening due to lack of vitamin D)

• Hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood)

• Hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone levels affecting calcium balance)

Dosage:

• Adults: Usually 0.25 to 1 mcg daily, depending on the condition and blood calcium levels.

• Elderly: Start with a lower dose as advised by a doctor.
