To compare the safety and efficacy of Grassroots leads with Ayurvedic drug (Lakshadi Guggulu and Praval Pishti) and Allopathic drug(Shalcal) in subject with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This randomized multi arm controlled, single blind clinical trial was done for safety and efficacy of two grassroots leads  in the management of osteopenia/ osteoporosis among postmenopausal women. Two grassroots leads in two different formulation and in two different doses were compared against standard Ayurvedic drug and standard allopathic drug.Each group was given one year of medication.
