Zolecare 4 mg Injection 1’s also treats Paget’s bone and high calcium levels caused by cancer. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, common in post-menopausal women.  As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.

This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking. It is manufactured by Medicare Remedies Pvt Ltd.
