Risedronate is a bisphosphonate medication primarily used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. It belongs to a class of drugs that slow down bone resorption, helping to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. Risedronate works by binding to bone surfaces and inhibiting the action of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue.
For the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men.
