PERODON is used to treat bone 
disease and belongs to a group of 
medicines called bisphosphonates. 

PERODON works directly on your 
bones to make them stronger and 
therefore less likely to break or 
fracture.

a- Week tablets are used to treat: 
•  osteoporosis (brittle or fragile 
bones that may fracture easily) 
•  osteoporosis caused by taking

UNDERSTANDING BONE 
Bone is a living tissue consisting of 
calcium and other minerals. 
Throughout life, old bone is 
constantly broken down and replaced 
with new bone. After the age of 35, 
bone loss may occur faster than your 
body can replace it. If you lose too 
much bone then they become weaker 
and are more likely to break. 

OSTEOPOROSIS 
Osteoporosis (brittle bone disease) is 
a disease that causes bones to become 
weaker. Weak bones break (fracture) 
easily. 

Many patients with osteoporosis have

PHARMACOLOGY 
Risedronate is a potent pyridinyl bisphosphonate that binds to bone
hydroxyapatite and inhibits 
osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Risedronate is a
third generation bisphosphonate. In 
preclinical studies risedronate demonstrated potent anti-osteoclast
and anti-resorptive activity, 
increasing bone mass and biomechanical strength dose-dependently. The
activity of risedronate was 
confirmed by bone marker measurements during pharmacodynamic and
clinical studies. With
