About RISOFOS KIT TABLET
RISOFOS KIT TABLET is indicated in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. It helps reduce the risk of bone fractures. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition that occurs in women after menopause. In this condition, the bones become weaker, more fragile, and more likely to break after a fall or strain.
RISOFOS KIT TABLET contains Risedronate sodium, Calcium and Cholecalciferol. It works directly on the bones to make them stronger and, therefore, less likely to break.
In some cases, RISOFOS KIT TABLET may cause side effects like indigestion, nausea, headache, diarrhoea, and constipation. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Do not take RISOFOS KIT TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. RISOFOS KIT TABLET is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.
