Hi there,
Thanks for the query.
I believe your mother is being treated for Osteoarthritis of the knee.
She can take Paracetamol 650mg three to four times a day. If pain is severe she can add Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days. Apply warm fomentation over the knees. Avoid bending knee much.
Zendef 6 is a steroid medicine. ZENSAME 200 is medicine for liver problem. Q- XXXXXXX -C is also for liver disease and may add to muscle strength. Instead of RIGIKAL K2 which is for Vitamin D deficiency and Calcium, she can take Shelcal 500mg twice a day. No need to take Zenace P is taking Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. Instead of GOLDCAL ALEN, can take Osteofos 70, which is for treating osteoporosis.
These may be helpful cheaper alternatives.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
