WHAT RISEDRONATE SANDOZ COMBI D IS USED FOR 
This medicine is used to treat the following
_ _
bone diseases: 


osteoporosis (brittle or fragile bones that may fracture easily) 


osteoporosis caused by taking steroids. 

Risedronate Sandoz Combi D is a composite pack which
contains two different medicines: 

  Risedronate Sandoz contains the active ingredient
risedronate sodium. Risedronate sodium belongs to 
a group of medicines called biphosphonates. It works
directly on your bones to make them stronger 
and therefore less likely to break or fracture, by slowing down
the process of old bone being removed 
and helping to rebuild bone mass. 

  Calcium-D Sandoz contains the active ingredients calcium
carbonate and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D). 
Calcium carbonate is a source of calcium, which your body needs
to build new bone. Cholecaciferol 
(Vitamin D) is a nutrient that helps calcium absorption. 

ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS
MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU. 
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason. 

There is no evidence that this medicine is addictive.
