Salost Tablet 5 mg contains Risedronate Sodium, a bisphosphonate medication used to prevent and treat osteoporosis and other bone-related disorders. Risedronate works by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, which slows down bone loss and helps maintain bone density and strength. By improving bone mineral density, Salost reduces the risk of fractures, particularly in the spine, hip, and wrist.

This tablet is commonly prescribed for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, men with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture, and patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy who are prone to bone loss. Salost Tablet 5 mg is also useful in preventing bone complications associated with other metabolic bone diseases. The medication is designed for oral administration, providing convenient, once-daily dosing for effective bone health management.
