About RISOFOS 150MG TABLET
RISOFOS 150MG TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called bisphosphonates used to treat or prevent osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused by menopause or taking steroids for a long time. Also, RISOFOS 150MG TABLET is used to treat Paget’s disease of bone. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.
RISOFOS 150MG TABLET contains Risedronic acid that works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that destroys bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking.
Take RISOFOS 150MG TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take RISOFOS 150MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

If you are allergic to RISOFOS 150MG TABLET, any sugars, or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking RISOFOS 150MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and consult a doctor. RISOFOS 150MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years as the safety and effectiveness were not established. Avoid taking RISOFOS 150MG TABLET if you have hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood) and severe kidney problems. Avoid drinking alcohol as heavy drinking may also cause bone loss. Avoid smoking as it may decrease bone mineral density and increase the risk of fractures. RISOFOS 150MG TABLET may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in some patients. Therefore, if you experience any problems with teeth or mouth such as loose teeth, swelling or pain, non-healing of sores, or discharge, consult your doctor and dentist as these might be signs of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
