Risofos 35 mg Tablet (Risedronate)
Risedronate is in a group of medicines called bisphosphonates (bis FOS fo nayts). It alters the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. Risedronate slows bone loss while increasing bone mass, which may prevent bone fractures. Risedronate is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in men and women. Risedronate is also used to treat Paget’s disease of bone.
You should not use Risofos 35 mg if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
• low levels of calcium in your blood (hypocalcemia); or
• a problem with the movement of muscles in your esophagus.
Do not take a risedronate tablet if you cannot sit upright or stand for at least 30 minutes. Risedronate can cause serious problems in the stomach or esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth and stomach). You will need to stay upright for at least 30 minutes after taking this medication.

• low blood calcium (hypocalcemia);

• kidney disease; or
• an ulcer in your stomach or esophagus.
In rare cases, this medicine may cause bone loss (osteonecrosis) in the jaw. Symptoms include jaw pain or numbness, red or swollen gums, loose teeth, or slow healing after dental work. The longer you use risedronate, the more likely you are to develop this condition.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw may be more likely if you have cancer or received chemotherapy, radiation. Other risk factors include blood clotting disorders, anemia (low red blood cells), and a pre existing dental problem.
