Osteofos 35 Tablet consists of (alendronic acid 35 mg), which works as follows:

• Binds to Bone Hydroxyapatite: Alendronic acid attaches itself to a compound in your bones called hydroxyapatite. This helps it focus its activity on areas where it's needed most.

• Inhibits Osteoclasts: Alendronic acid works by blocking the activity of cells called osteoclasts. These cells break down bone tissue, so inhibiting them slows down bone loss.

• Increases Bone Mass: With fewer osteoclasts breaking down bone tissue, there's an overall increase in bone mass. This leads to stronger bones less prone to fractures.
