Actonel Drug Information
Due to hormonal changes occurring in post-menopausal women, they are more prone to osteoporosis and fractures (especially of the vertebrae). It is in such patients that Actonel is used. It brings about its action by inhibiting a specific type of bone resorption mechanism. Although it is primarily used to treat women, this generic drug may also be used in men for the purpose of improving bone mass. One condition that warrants use of Actonel in both men and women is Paget’s disease. The use of these tablets in the treatment of each of these disorders is different and must follow medical consultation.

Side Effects and Precautions for Actonel
Risedronate sodium belongs to a class of drugs called “Bisphosphonates” and like all drugs belonging to this class, gastric irritation following administration of these tablets is a possibility. Inflammation and ulcers in the esophagus is also a known adverse effect of Actonel. Patients who have been consuming mineral supplements or those who are being treated for mineral related disorders must discuss this with a physician before they buy Actonel and use it. Patients on Actonel treatment must be careful to avoid any invasive dental surgery as this medication has known to result in osteonecrosis. Since the safety of this drug is yet to be ascertained in pregnant and nursing women, they will do well to avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
