Risedronate Sodium Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: Risedronate sodium can bind to hydroxyapatite in bones and has the effect of inhibiting bone resorption. At the cellular level, this product inhibits osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are usually present on the surface of bones, but do not have obvious resorption activity. Histomorphometric measurements of rats, dogs, and piglets revealed that this product can reduce bone turnover (activation frequency, that is, the rate at which bone tissue remodeling sites are activated) and resorption at bone remodeling sites. Animal experiments suggest that this product can inhibit osteoclasts and bone resorption in osteoporosis model rats and miniature pigs. Rats and piglets were orally administered this product (the doses were 4 and 25 times the human dose of 5 mg/m2, respectively, calculated by body surface area, and the calculation method is the same below). Bone mass and bone biomechanical strength increased in a dose-dependent manner, and the increase in bone density was
