Risedronic acid ( INN ) or risedronate sodium ( USAN , trade name Actonel ) is a bisphosphonate used to strengthen bone , treat or prevent osteoporosis , and treat Paget's disease of bone. It is produced and marketed by Procter & Gamble and Sanofi-Aventis .
Risedronate is taken orally, usually 5 mg daily or 35 mg weekly. Notably, if risedronate lodges in the esophagus , it can lead to esophageal ulcers . Therefore, it is recommended that risedronate be taken with the body upright, and followed by a glass of water. Moreover, risedronate is poorly absorbed when taken with food, so it is recommended that no food or drink other than water be taken for 2 hours before and 30 minutes after taking risedronate. Risedronate has a faster esophageal transit time and different chemical chain which results in less gastrointestinal side-effects than other drugs in this class. The dosage instructions also show that risedronate can be taken with less water than other drugs in the class.
