PERODON
IS
USED
FOR
PERODON

used
to

bone
disease
and

a
group
of
medicines called bisphosphonates.

break
or
fracture.

•
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
no symptoms and may not even know
that they have osteoporosis. However
osteoporosis makes you more likely to
break bones when you have a fall or
bump. The spine, hip and wrist are the
most likely bones to break, although
this can happen to any bone in your
body.
Osteoporosis
can
also
cause
back pain, height loss and a curve

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
