HI

WELCOME TO HEALTHCARE MAGIC

The medication you were precribed is to prevent vascular headache i.e., sibelium

Sibelium is a compound having both calcium channel blocking activity and

antihistaminic properties.

Calcium channel blockers have been studied for their effects on bone.No

conclusive evidence is present to show that they cause osteoporosis in long

term.

SO DONT WORRY. use sibelium(flunarizine ) regularly.

Hope u find this helpful
