Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Some reports have shown that strontium ranelate can slow down the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. This agent presents an atypical mechanism of action in which it increases deposition of new bone by osteoblasts and, simultaneously, reduces the resorption of bone by osteoclasts.
Dose abituale nell'adulto (sintesi del foglio illustrativo)
The recommended dose is one 2 g sachet once daily by oral administration.
Come si assume di solito
Simple analgesics are taken by mouth, by rectum or by infusion as needed within a daily maximum that counts every product containing the same ingredient.
