1. WHAT ACTONEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ACTONEL IS
Actonel belongs to a group of non-hormonal
medicines called bisphosphonates which are
used to treat bone diseases. It works directly
on your bones to make them stronger and
therefore less likely to break.
Bone is a living tissue. Old bone is constantly
removed from your skeleton and replaced with new bone.
Paget’s disease occurs when this process, called remodeling,
happens too quickly and in a disordered way. The new bone that
is produced is weaker than normal and the affected bones may
become enlarged, painful and may fracture. Actonel changes the
bone remodeling process back to normal, returning the strength to
the bone structure.
WHAT ACTONEL IS USED FOR
Treatment of Paget’s disease of the bone (osteitis deformans).

4.2 Posology and method of administration
POSOLOGY
The recommended daily dose in adults is one 30 mg tablet orally for 2
months. If re-treatment is
considered necessary (at least two months post-treatment), a new
treatment with the same dose and
duration of therapy could be given.
SPECIAL POPULATIONS
_Elderly: _
No dosage adjustment is necessary since bioavailability, distribution
and elimination were similar in
elderly (>60 years of age) compared to younger subjects.
_Renal Impairment: _
No dosage adjustment is required for those patients with mild to
moderate renal impairment. The use of
risedronate sodium is contraindicated in patients with severe renal
impairment (creatinine clearance lower
than 30 ml/min) (see sections 4.3 and 5.2).
_Paediatric population: _
Risedronate sodium is not recommended for use in children below age 18
due to insufficient data on
safety and efficacy (also see section 5.1).
METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The absorption of Actonel is affected by food, thus to ensure adequate
absorption patients should take
Actonel:
• Before breakfast: At least 30 minutes before the first food, other
medicinal product or drink (other than
plain water) of the day.
In the particular instance that before breakfast dosing is not
practical, Actonel can be taken between me
