    Risedronic acid, often used as its salt risedronate sodium, is a bisphosphonate used to treat and prevent osteoporosis or to treat Paget's disease of bone.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

    Common side effects include constipation, nausea, headache, and rash.[1] Other side effects may include esophageal inflammation, esophageal perforation, osteonecrosis of the jaw, low calcium, and muscle pain.[1] Use is not recommended in those with significant kidney problems.[2] It works by inhibiting the cells which break down bone.[1]

    Risedronic acid was patented in 1984 and approved for medical use in 1998.[3] It is available as a generic medication.[4] In the United States it costs about 30 USD per month as of 2021.[4] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £10 per month.[2]

    Medical uses

    Dosage

    It may be taken as 5 mg a day, 35 mg a week, or 150 mg a month.[1]

    Side effects

    In common with other bisphosphonate drugs, risedronate appears to be associated with the rare side effect osteonecrosis of the jaw, often preceded by dental procedures inducing trauma to the bone.

    Society and culture

    Brand names

    It is produced and marketed by Warner Chilcott, Sanofi-Aventis, and in Japan by Takeda under the trade names Actonel, Atelvia, and Benet. It is also available in a preparation that includes a calcium carbonate supplement, as Actonel with Calcium.

    Controversies

    In January 2006 P&G and its marketing partner Sanofi-Aventis filed a Lanham Act false claims lawsuit against rival drugmakers Roche and GlaxoSmithKline claiming false advertising about Boniva.[6] The manufacturers of Boniva, a rival bisphosphonate, were accused in the suit of causing a "serious public health risk" through misrepresentation of scientific findings. In a ruling on September 7, 2006 U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty rejected P&G's attempted injunction. P&G was criticized for attempting to "preserve its market share by denigrating Boniva". Judge Crotty wrote that "Roche was clearly entitled to respond with its own data, provided that the data was truthfully and accurately presented".[7]

    In 2006, P&G faced controversy over its handling of clinical research involving risedronate (News Reports[8] and discussion).[9]
