What does it do?

Risedronate sodium is a medication that belongs to the bisphosphonate class and is used to treat skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis. It is primarily prescribed to inhibit bone resorption, increase bone density, and reduce the risk of fractures.

Risedronate sodium inhibits the activity of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone, thereby preventing bone loss. As a result, bones become denser and the risk of fractures decreases.
