Can I Take Arachitol O, Nuroday, Celadrin And Macvestin For Osteoporosis?
Hi..... I need a ill assistance...
My mother is 54 years and she is top heavy ( overweight with thin legs) and she is recently suffering from starting stages of oestoprites (arthritis). Her weight is approx 70 kg and 5 feet in height.
She has been experiencing pain in her knee and has been advised Arachitol O, Neuroday, Celadrin and another medicine called macvestin.
I am just worried whether this dosage is excessive and would have any side effects. Kindly reply at the earliest
