Risedronate sodium is a bisphosphonate bone resorption inhibitor.
Risedronate sodium is a bisphosphonate bone resorption inhibitor. It has an affinity for hydroxyapatite crystals in bone and acts as an antiresorptive agent and is an inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase, which results in downstream inhibition of osteoclast activity and reduced bone resorption and turnover. Risedronate sodium has been used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis and Paget′s disease.

Prostate cancer truly is an age-associated disease. Due to the increased life expectancy and more sensitive diagnostic techniques in the Western world, prostate cancer is diagnosed more frequently and with rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence rates. However, age above 65

To investigate whether treatment with a bisphosphonate would influence the subchondral bone plate stiffness and the development of cartilage damage in Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs, which develop osteoarthritis (OA) spontaneously. Fifty-six 3-month-old male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were randomized into

Low persistence with osteoporosis medication is associated with higher fracture risk. Previous studies estimated that 1-year persistence with osteoporosis medication is low. Our aim was to study persistence with osteoporosis medication among patients with long-term follow-up (to 5 years). The InterAction

This observational study showed that after 2 years, both risedronate and alendronate lowered the risk of hip and nonvertebral fractures compared with patients filling in a single bisphosphonate prescription. Post hoc analyses of the placebo-controlled trials suggested earlier effects for
The role of bisphosphonates (BP) in early breast cancer (BC) has been considered controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that appraised the effects of BP on survival in early BC. RCTs were identified by searching
