Risedronate Action Pathway (new)
Homo sapiens
Drug Action Pathway
Risedronate also known as risedronic acid, is a third-generation bisphosphonate used to treat osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Risedronate binds to hydroxyapatite, during bone resorption risedronate is released and taken up by osteoclast through endocytosis. It goes to inhibit farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, by doing so the components needed for prenylation lead to apoptosis within the osteoclast. In order to maximize absorption after consuming orally, it is best to avoid eating prior to consumption. Some patients may require supplements such as vitamin D and avoid calcium, antacids and divalent ions as it interferes with absorption.
