4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Treatment of severe osteoporosis:
- in postmenopausal women,
- in adult men,
at high risk of fracture, for whom treatment with other medicinal
products approved for the treatment of
osteoporosis is not possible due to, for example, contraindications or
intolerance. In postmenopausal
women, strontium ranelate reduces the risk of vertebral and hip
fractures (see section 5.1).
The decision to prescribe strontium ranelate should be based on an
assessment of the individual patient's
overall risks (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Treatment should only be initiated by a physician with experience in
the treatment of osteoporosis.
Posology
The recommended dose is one 2 g sachet once daily by oral
administration.
Due to the nature of the treated disease, strontium ranelate is
intended for long-term use.
The absorption of strontium ranelate is reduced by food, milk and
derivative products and therefore,
PROTELOS should be administered in-between meals. Given the slow
absorption, PROTELOS should
be taken at bedtime, preferably at least two hours after eating (see
sections 4.5 and 5.2).
Patients treated with strontium ranelate should receive vitamin D and
calcium supplements if dietary
intake is inadequate.
