Actonel is a medication that helps treat osteoporosis by slowing down bone loss and increasing bone mass. The active ingredient in Actonel is risedronate sodium. It works by inhibiting the cells that break down bone, helping to strengthen your bones and reduce the risk of fractures. Actonel is suitable for individuals who have osteoporosis or are at risk of developing it due to various factors like menopause, steroid use, or certain medical conditions.
About Actonel
Dosage and usage
You should take Actonel exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual dosage is one tablet once a week, preferably on the same day each week. It's essential to take Actonel on an empty stomach with a full glass of plain water to ensure proper absorption. Remember not to lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking the tablet. If you forget to take a dose, take it the next morning. Do not take two tablets on the same day. If you experience difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or heartburn, contact your doctor. Actonel's effects last for a week, so missing a dose can affect your treatment.
What Actonel contains
Each Actonel tablet contains 35 mg of risedronate sodium as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, crospovidone, magnesium stearate, and ferric oxide (yellow) as excipients.
Side effects
Common side effects of Actonel may include stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, or mild joint or muscle pain. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, jaw pain, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Precautions
Do not take Actonel if you have low blood calcium levels, severe kidney problems, or if you are unable to stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use Actonel. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of esophagus problems, ulcers, or difficulty swallowing. If you are taking other medications, especially calcium supplements or antacids, consult your doctor before starting Actonel to prevent interactions.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
