Salost Tablet 150 mg contains Risedronate Sodium, a bisphosphonate medication used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders. Risedronate works by inhibiting osteoclast activity, the cells responsible for bone breakdown, thereby slowing bone loss and helping to maintain bone strength and density. This reduces the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hip, and wrist.

The 150 mg tablet is typically prescribed as a once-monthly dose, providing a convenient option for patients who may find daily dosing difficult. It is especially suitable for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, men with osteoporosis at increased fracture risk, and patients receiving long-term corticosteroid therapy. By maintaining bone mineral density and improving skeletal health, Salost helps enhance mobility and reduce complications associated with bone fragility.
