Benefits of Stoplos A Plus Tablet Lemon

  • In Treatment of Paget's disease: Paget's disease is a chronic bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. It causes bones to become larger, weaker, and more brittle. Symptoms of Paget's disease include bone pain, deformities, and fractures. Stoplos A Plus Tablet Lemon helps control bone regeneration. When taken regularly, it can also alleviate bone pain, reduce fractures, improve bone density, and slow down the progress of the disease.
  • In Treatment of Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause or who are taking steroids. This condition can be treated with bone-strengthening medicines. Stoplos A Plus Tablet Lemon slows down the rate at which bone is broken down in your body. This maintains bone density and reduces your risk of breaking a bone. You can also help improve the strength of your bones by doing regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), eating healthy foods containing calcium and Vitamin D, and reducing your consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Supplements of calcium and Vitamin D3 are also effective.
