CompositionNewbona Jelly Sachet 5gm is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men, to manage bone loss caused by long-term steroid use, and to treat Paget's disease of bone. It belongs to a group of medicines called bisphosphonates, and regular use strengthens bones and lowers the risk of fractures.
This medicine works by slowing down the cells that break down bone tissue, which helps maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures over time.
Take this jelly on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with a full glass of plain water. Do not eat, drink other than plain water, or take other medicines for at least 30 minutes afterwards, and remain upright, sitting, standing or walking, for at least 30 minutes to protect the food pipe.
Weight-bearing exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol all help maintain bone density alongside this medicine. Tell your doctor about any difficulty swallowing, kidney problems, or planned dental procedures, as bisphosphonates can rarely affect the jawbone, and tell your doctor immediately about any chest pain or difficulty swallowing.
