Stronel Granules for Suspension uses for
Strontium Ranelate is a non-hormonal medicine used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Strontium Ranelate reduces the risk of fracture at the spine and at the hip
About osteoporosis: Your body is constantly breaking down old bone and making new bone tissue. If you have osteoporosis, your body breaks down more bone than it forms so that gradually bone loss occurs and your bones become thinner and fragile. This is especially common in women after the menopause (change of life). Many people with osteoporosis have no symptoms and you may not even know that you have it. However, osteoporosis makes you more likely to have fractures (break bones), especially in your spine, hips and wrists.
The recommended dose is one 2 gm sachet a day. Strontium should always be taken as per the advice of the doctor. Please check with your doctor in case of any confusion. Strontium is for oral use.
It is recommended that you take Strontium at bedtime. You may lie down immediately after taking Strontium if you wish. Take the granules contained in the sachets as a suspension in a glass of water (see instructions below). Strontium can interact with milk and milk products, so it is important that you mix Strontium only with water to be sure it works properly
Drink straight away. If for some reason you do not drink the medicine straight away, make sure you stir it again before drinking. You should not leave it more than 24 hours before you drink it. Your doctor may advise you to take calcium and vitamin D supplements in addition to Strontium. Do not take calcium supplements at bedtime, at the same time as Strontium. Your doctor will tell you how long you should continue to take Strontium. Osteoporosis therapy is usually required for a long period. It is important that you continue taking Strontium
If you forget to take Strontium: Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten individual doses. Just carry on with the next dose at the normal time.
If you take too many sachets of Strontium Ranelate, tell your doctor. They may advise you to drink milk or take antacids to reduce the absorption of the active ingredient.
