Medical Description

Becotrol Capsule is a combination medicine that is used in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and other nutritional deficiencies, mostly in people above 50 years of age. It is also used in postmenopausal women to prevent osteoporosis.

Becotrol Capsule contains a combination of folic acid, methylcobalamin, pyridoxine, calcium and vitamin D3 as active ingredients. Vitamin D diminishes with age due to decreased dietary intake or sun exposure. While taking this medicine, try to incorporate food that is rich in vitamin D and calcium.

Exposure to sunlight is also essential for the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. Calbona Capsule and Reposit Capsule also contain folic acid, methylcobalamin, pyridoxine, calcium and vitamin D3 as their active ingredients.
