How it works
Stoplos RD 3 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Risedronate and Vitamin D3 which treat osteoporosis. Risedronate is a bisphosphonate. It works by suppressing the activity of osteoclast cells that cause destruction of bone. This strengthens the bone and minimizes the risk of fractures. Vitamin D3 helps protect your bones both by increasing calcium absorption and by supporting muscles needed to avoid falls.
