What is an effective treatment option for osteoporosis?

Hi doctor,

My mother is 87 years old and is completely bedridden. She has arthritis with excruciating pain in her knees, hips, shoulders, and neck. She is unable to sleep at night. The physician prescribed a pain reliever, but it did not improve the symptoms. So kindly suggest a painkiller for her to relax.

What is the correct dosage and duration for taking Akurit 4 and Akurit 3 for my bone TB?

Hi doctor,

I have been suffering from hip pain for the last nine months. I did an MRI five months ago, which showed mild synovial in my hip. The doctor suspected bone TB and prescribed me medications for it. Four months ago, I had an MRI. The reports were normal. I took the tablet Akurit 4 for two months, and now, I am taking Akurit 3 for three months. I am taking four tablets of Akurit 3 in the morning before breakfast and half a tablet of Benadon 40 at night after dinner. The hip pain is now reduced by 50 % but not completely cured. I still get pain while walking or climbing a staircase. I had pulmonary tuberculosis three years ago and was under medication for six months to get cured. I consulted a doctor yesterday, and he said that tablet Akurit 4 is sufficient for bone TB and suggested I switch to Akurit 4 for the remaining seven months. I would like to know if I should start taking Akurit 4 again as instructed, and is there any problem if I take Akurit 3? What should be the course duration for Akurit 4 and Akurit 3 in bone TB treatment?
