About Gemfos Tablet
Gemfos Tablet helps your bones stay as strong as possible. It can help if you have or are at risk of getting a health problem called osteoporosis. This is where your bones get weaker and are more likely to break. Osteoporosis can happen for many reasons, but you're more likely to get it if you're a woman who has been through menopause or if you take steroids, for a long time. Some types of cancer treatment can also increase your risk of getting osteoporosis. Besides this Gemfos Tablet can also help people who have Paget's disease of bone. This weakens your bones and can bend them out of shape.
Gemfos Tablet contains 'Risedronate sodium', which comes in the category of drugs known as 'amino bisphosphonate”. In osteoporosis, It works by slowing down the cells that break down bone. This maintains bone density and makes your bones stronger and less likely to break. In Paget's disease of bone, Gemfos Tablet reduces the abnormal bone turnover that this condition causes. This helps to reduce deformity and pain and makes your bones stronger and less likely to break.
Take Gemfos Tablet without food on an empty stomach, at evenly spaced intervals with one glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Gemfos Tablet based on your medical condition. It has been reported that some persons experience undesirable effects of name that include abdominal or stomach pain, ulceration of the gullet, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty or pain upon swallowing. Most of these side effects of Gemfos Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen or if you notice chest pain, new or worsening heartburn, or pain when swallowing, then immediately stop taking Gemfos Tablet and consult your doctor.
The use of Gemfos Tablet is restricted in persons who are allergic to any constituent of medication or have problems with the oesophagus or low calcium levels in the blood. This medicine should not be taken by a person who cannot sit upright or stand for at least half an hour after taking this drug. This medication can increase the risk of jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis), which is high in persons with pre-existing dental problems or people treated with steroids, cancer, blood cell disorders, or radiation. So, consult with the doctor about the risks associated with Gemfos Tablet. This medicine is only a part of a complete treatment program that includes bone mineral density testing, diet changes, exercise, and taking calcium and vitamin supplements, so follow all the directions given by the doctor.
