NIZI:
FDC has recently introduced a value-added product in the muscle relaxant area of therapeutics. The new product launched, NIZI, combines one of the latest muscle relaxants Tizanidine with Nimesulide, a painkiller popular for its efficacy and safety, in a special formulation using B-cyclodextrin; such a formulation is launched for the first time in India. B-cyclodextrin in NIZI, enhances the bio-availability of otherwise sparingly soluble Nimesulide and thus quickens its onset of action. Thus NIZI is especially designed to provide faster relief from pain and spasm than any other muscle relaxant containing plain Nimesulide. To add to this core benefit, NIZI also relieves pain at rest and pain on movement - a typical outcome of conditions involving muscle spasm. And last but not the least NIZI is very well tolerated with no incidences of GI side effects. This makes NIZI a perfect solution for all kinds of muscle spasm viz., low back pain, stiff neck, shoulder pain, spondylosis & slip disc.


OSTEOSHIELD - Fortifies Life after 45:
As women approach the age of 45 years, their lives are marked with significant changes with a stage called 'Menopause'. It is a stage where the female body experiences wide-ranging changes, due to the depletion of an important hormone, Estrogen. At present, to take care of these problems Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been the only complete treatment, but HRT is associated with drawbacks like venous thromboembolism, breast & endometrial cancer. Recently, highly encouraging research findings on Soya Protein have indicated Soya Protein as an alternative to HRT. So, after a thorough study of the intensive research on Soya Protein, FDC has launched Osteoshield - a dietary supplement based on soya protein. Osteoshield is specially designed to help a woman to line through menopausal changes successfully. The soya protein in Osteoshield is rich in isoflavones (plant estrogens) and calcium (in more absorbable form).

Osteoshield will help in:

• Reducing disturbing menopausal symptoms like night sweats, hot flushes & vaginal dryness
• Reducing the risk of bone degeneration
• Building bones
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by virtue of its anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant properties
• Reducing the risk of memory loss

Regular use of Osteoshield with milk, as recommended, will successfully respond to the nutritional demands and help a woman stay healthy & happy after 45.
