How
should I take this medicine?
|
Follow
the directions on the prescription label. Some patients
take Risedronate every day. Other patients may only
take a dose of Risedronate once a week. If you take
Risedronate only once a week, take the medicine on
the same day every week.
Take Risedronate tablets by mouth in the morning,
after you have risen for the day. Swallow the tablets
with a full glass (6-8 fluid ounces) of plain water
first thing in the morning. Do not take the tablets
with any other type of liquid except plain water.
Do not chew or suck the tablets. Do not eat or drink
anything before you take your tablets and do not eat
breakfast, drink, or take any other medicines for
at least 30 minutes after taking Risedronate. If you
can wait for 2 hours before eating, your body will
absorb even more of the medicine. After taking this
medicine, remain sitting or standing upright (do not
lie down) for at least 30 minutes to avoid irritation
of your throat and esophagus (tube connecting mouth
to stomach). Do not take this medicine at the same
time as antacids, calcium, magnesium or iron supplements,
or vitamins with minerals; if you take these medications,
take them later in the day. Do not take your medicine
more often than directed.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional
regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special
care may be needed. |
