WHAT OSSEOR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
OSSEOR is a medicine used to treat severe osteoporosis:
-
in postmenopausal women,
-
in adult men,
at high risk of fracture, for whom other alternative treatments are
not possible. In postmenopausal
women, strontium ranelate reduces the risk of fracture at the spine
and at the hip.
About osteoporosis
Your body is constantly breaking down old bone and making new bone
tissue. If you have
osteoporosis, your body breaks down more bone than it forms so that
gradually bone loss occurs and
your bones become thinner and fragile. This is especially common in
women after the menopause.
Many people with osteoporosis have no symptoms and you may not even
know that you have it.
However, osteoporosis makes you more likely to have fractures (break
bones), especially in your
spine, hips and wrists.
How OSSEOR works
OSSEOR, which contains the substance strontium ranelate, belongs to a
group of medicines used to
treat bone diseases.
OSSEOR works by reducing bone breakdown and stimulating rebuilding of
bone and therefore
reduces the risk of fracture. The newly formed bone is of normal
quality.

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,
OSSEOR should be administered in-between meals. Given the slow
absorption, OSSEOR 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.

The efficacy and safety of strontium ranelate have been established in
a broad age range (up to
100 years at inclusion) of adult men and postmenopausal women with
osteoporosis. No dose
adjustment is required in relation to age.

Strontium ranelate is not recommended for patients with severe r
