DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Risedronate tablets are intended for oral administration.
DOSAGE
Risedronate must only be taken with PLAIN WATER.
Plain water is the only drink that should be taken with risedronate
tablets. Note that some
mineral waters or water from regional areas may have a higher
concentration of calcium and
therefore should not be used.
Risedronate must be taken 30 minutes before the first food or drink
other than water.
To facilitate delivery to the stomach, risedronate should be taken
while the patient is in an
upright position and the patients should avoid lying down for 30
minutes.
Patients should not chew or suck the tablet because of the potential
for oropharyngeal irritation.
