Salost DR Tablet 35 mg contains Risedronate Sodium, a bisphosphonate used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders. Risedronate works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue, thereby slowing bone loss and maintaining bone strength. This helps reduce the risk of fractures, particularly in the spine, hip, and wrist.

The “DR” (delayed-release) formulation allows the medication to bypass the stomach and dissolve in the intestine, which minimizes gastrointestinal irritation and improves absorption. Salost DR Tablet 35 mg is typically prescribed for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, men with osteoporosis at increased risk of fracture, and patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy. This tablet provides a convenient, weekly dosing option, enhancing adherence to therapy.
