Mechanism of Action

Salost Tablet 5 mg is a bisphosphonate drug which works by inhibiting several processes of bone resorption, namely, an increase in osteoclastic bone resorption, which leads to reduced bone formation, and an increase in osteoclast activity, which results in increased bone mineral density. It also has an anabolic effect on bone formation and it binds to bone mineral, which then prevents the damage and breakdown of bone.
