Every dose on time. BoneKavach has your back.

Denosumab is given once every six months, and the protection depends on the next dose arriving on time. BoneKavach is our free support programme: it runs on WhatsApp, remembers your cycle for you, and keeps a route open back to your doctor.

500+ patients have their Kavach active today

  • Injection cycle reminders

    A reminder 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before each 6-monthly dose is due, so the date does not slip past you or your family.

  • Daily calcium and vitamin D prompts

    A short daily nudge to take the calcium and vitamin D your doctor prescribed alongside the injection.

  • A route back to your doctor

    If something does not feel right between cycles, the programme escalates your question to the treating physician rather than leaving you to wait.

  • Prescription read for you

    Send a photo of your prescription and the programme reads the dates off it, so you do not have to set anything up by hand.

A 2-Minute Osteoporosis Risk Check

Your Bones Could Be at Risk!!

Osteoporosis can weaken bones without causing symptoms until a fracture occurs. Answer Yes, No or Not sure for each question.

Step 1
A clinician may assess your risk using a validated fracture-risk calculator and determine whether a DXA bone-density scan, vertebral imaging, or laboratory evaluation is appropriate. This checklist raises awareness; it does not diagnose osteoporosis or calculate an individual fracture probability. *Based on the International Osteoporosis Foundation Risk Check, supported by recognized risk factors from NIAMS and current USPSTF screening recommendations.

Understand the condition

Understanding Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones gradually become weak and more likely to break. It often develops without pain or warning signs until a minor fall causes a fracture, most commonly in the hip, spine or wrist.


It can affect both women and men, with risk increasing with age—especially after menopause. Early assessment, regular exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and prescribed treatment can help strengthen bones and prevent fractures.

200 million women worldwide live with osteoporosis
Every 3 seconds a fragility fracture occurs worldwide — about 8.9 million a year
1 in 3 women over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture
1 in 5 men over 50 will too

Understanding Denosumab

Denosumab is a medicine used to treat osteoporosis. It helps slow the loss of bone, increase bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures, particularly in the spine and hip.

  • One injection under the skin, once every 6 months, given by a healthcare professional
  • Works only while injections continue on schedule — never delay or stop it without speaking to your doctor
  • Take calcium and vitamin D as advised, and tell your dentist that you receive denosumab
Tell your doctor before starting if you have kidney disease, low calcium or vitamin D, dental problems or a planned extraction, or are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked

Questions Patients Ask Us

Short answers to the questions we hear most often. None of them replace your physician's advice.

Is the risk quiz a diagnosis?

No. It is an educational prompt built from common risk factors. Only a clinician can diagnose osteoporosis, usually with a DEXA scan and a full clinical assessment.

What does a T-score of -2.5 mean?

A T-score at or below -2.5 is the threshold most guidelines use to describe osteoporosis on a bone density scan. Your physician interprets it alongside your fracture history and other risks.

Do I need to stop other medicines to start denosumab?

That is a decision for your prescriber. Bring a full list of your current medicines and supplements to the appointment.

What happens if I miss an injection?

Contact your treating physician. Timing matters for this therapy, and the plan after a missed dose is individual.
