1. What is Risedronato Semanal Aristo and what is it used for
Risedronate belongs to a group of non-hormonal medications called bisphosphonates, which are used for the treatment of bone diseases. It acts directly on the bones, strengthening them and, therefore, reduces the likelihood of fractures.
The bone is a living tissue. Old bone in the skeleton is constantly being renewed and replaced by new bone.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis appears in women after menopause when the bone begins to weaken, becomes more fragile, and fractures are more likely to occur after a fall or twist.
Osteoporosis can also be suffered by men due to numerous causes, including aging and/or low levels of male hormone, testosterone.
The most likely bone fractures are those of the vertebrae, hip, and wrist, although they can occur in any bone in the body. Osteoporosis-related fractures can also produce back pain, height loss, and curved back. Some patients with osteoporosis do not have symptoms and may not even know they have it.
What is Risedronato Semanal Aristo used for
This medication is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis
- inwomenafter menopause, even if osteoporosis is severe. It reduces the risk of vertebral and hip fractures.
