About Rigid-150 Tablet 1's
Rigid-150 Tablet 1's belongs to the class of medicines called bisphosphonates used to treat or prevent osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused by menopause or taking steroids for a long time. Also, Rigid-150 Tablet 1's is used to treat Paget’s disease of bone. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break.
Rigid-150 Tablet 1's contains Risedronic acid that works by binding to the bone tightly and preventing the removal of calcium by osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that destroys bone tissue). This prevents osteoclasts from breaking down the bone and keeps the bones strong and minimizes the risk of bones breaking.
Take Rigid-150 Tablet 1's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Rigid-150 Tablet 1's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headache, nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, cramps or discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, pain in the muscles, joints, or bones, feeling of fullness or bloating.
