About Actonel 35mg Tablet

RISEDRONATE belongs to a group of medications called bisphosphonate. It helps your bones stay as strong as possible. It can help if you have or are at risk of getting a health problem called osteoporosis. This is where your bones get weaker and more likely to break. Osteoporosis can happen for many reasons, but you're more likely to get it if you're a woman who has been through menopause or if you take steroids, for a long time. Some types of cancer treatment can also increase your risk of getting osteoporosis. Besides this RISEDRONATE SODIUM can also help people who have Paget's disease of bone. This weakens your bones and can bend them out of shape.

RISEDRONATE contains 'Risedronate sodium' that comes in the category of drugs known as 'amino bisphosphonate”. Osteoporosis works by slowing down the cells that break down bone. This maintains bone density and makes your bones stronger and less likely to break. In Paget's disease of bone, RISEDRONATE SODIUM reduces the abnormal bone turnover that this condition causes. This helps to reduce deformity and pain and makes your bones stronger and less likely to break.
