Reventa 10mg Tablet

Description

Reventa 10mg Tablet

Reventa 10mg Tablet (Alendronate sodium) is an aminobisphosphonate that acts as a potent inhibitor of bone resorption. Reventa 10mg Tablet is chemically described as (4-amino-1- hydroxybutylidene) bisphosphonic acid monosodium salt trihydrate. The molecular formula of Reventa 10mg Tablet  is C4H12NNaO7P2•3H2O. Estrogen/Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Combined use of alendronate and HRT resulted in greater increases in bone mass, together with greater decreases in bone turnover, than seen with either treatment alone. The safety and tolerability profile of Reventa 10mg Tablet was consistent with those of the individual treatments. Calcium Supplements/Antacids It is likely that calcium supplements, antacids, and some oral medications will interfere with absorption of alendronate. Therefore, patients must wait at least one-half hour after taking alendronate before taking any other oral Reventa 10mg Tablet. The incidence of upper gastrointestinal adverse events increased in patients receiving concomitant therapy with daily doses of alendronate greater than 10mg and aspirin-containing products. Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Since NSAID use is associated with gastrointestinal irritation, caution should be used during concomitant use with alendronate.
