Risedronic acid and calcium, sequential is a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at risk for vitamin D and calcium deficiencies. Risedronic acid (risedronate) is a bisphosphonate that inhibits bone resorption, while calcium provides a supplement to maintain bone health. It is approved and in use today for osteoporosis management.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for typical adult population as no direct sources found for the fixed-dose combination; values are primarily based on risedronic acid (risedronate) data for healthy adults administered orally. Calcium component does not impact risedronate PK if taken sequentially.
