Introduction
SUPRACAL ISO TABLET is a combination of Calcitriol, Elemental Calcium, and Soya Isoflavones, which belong to a group of medicines known as Vitamin D analogues, Calcium supplements, and Phytoestrogens, respectively. SUPRACAL ISO TABLET is indicated for the dietary management of the metabolic processes of bone defects like osteopenia and osteoporosis. Osteopenia is a loss of bone mineral density (BMD) that weakens bones. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decrease, or when the structure and strength of bones change. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength, which can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).

SUPRACAL ISO TABLET should be used with caution during pregnancy, if you think you may be pregnant, and in breastfeeding women. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. The common
