Launch of Generic Actonel 150mg

The generic equivalent of Actonel 150mg (risendronate sodium tablets) has just been released, following FDA approval. Actonel 150mg is used to treat or prevent osteoporosis in men and women. It is also used to treat Paget’s disease of bone. It works by altering the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body.

Generic prescription drugs approved by the FDA have the same high quality and strength as brand name drugs. Generic prescription drug manufacturing and packaging sites must pass the same quality standards as those of brand name drugs.

Over the next 30 days, Carlisle Medical will be contacting physicians to inform them that the generic version of Actonel 150mg is available. Management is our focus, as we are deeply involved in evaluating generic usage, as well as alternative therapies. We provide this on an ongoing basis through our Prescription review service.
