Risofos 35 Tablet consists of risedronate (35 mg), which works as follows:

• Inhibits Bone Resorption: Risedronate works by blocking osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue, so by inhibiting their activity, risedronate helps maintain healthy bones.

• Increases Bone Density: By reducing bone resorption, risedronate effectively increases the density of bones.

• Reduces Risk of Fractures: Through these actions, risedronate helps strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures, particularly in individuals suffering from osteoporosis or Paget's disease.

• Store Risofos 35 Tablet in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.

• Maintain an ideal storage temperature below 30°C.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.
