Directions for Use

You must sit or stand upright (not lying down) for at least 30 minutes after taking this medicine to prevent irritation of your food pipe. Swallow the tablet without chewing or crushing it.

  • Do not lie down during this 30-minute period
  • Ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake as recommended by your doctor
  • Get weight-bearing exercise as advised by your doctor to strengthen bones

Dosage

Overdose

Overdose is unlikely as this medicine is poorly absorbed. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital. Do not lie down. Remain upright.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Risedronate works by slowing bone loss. It attaches to the bone surface and prevents cells that break down bone from working properly. This allows your body to maintain bone density and strength, reducing your risk of fractures.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Some medicines can affect how this works. Do not take at the same time as antacids, calcium supplements, or iron supplements, as they reduce absorption. Take this medicine at least 2 hours before or after these products. In particular, if you are taking other bone medicines or certain pain relievers, inform your doctor.

Interactions with food items

Do not take this medicine with food or milk as they reduce its effectiveness. Take on an empty stomach with water only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This medicine can irritate your esophagus (food pipe). Staying upright helps it pass into your stomach and prevents irritation. Lying down could allow it to remain in your food pipe and cause harm.
This medicine takes time to strengthen bones. You may not notice improvements for several months, but continuing to take it as prescribed is important for preventing fractures.
No. Do not take calcium supplements at the same time as this medicine, as they reduce its effectiveness. Take this medicine at least 2 hours before or after calcium.
