Osteoporosis treatment with risedronate: a population pharmacokinetic model for the description of its absorption and low plasma levels

ConclusionThe absorption and disposition kinetics of risedronate were successfully characterized. Simulations revealed the high discrepancy in the concentration levels observed after different dosage regimens, implying the safety profile of risedronate. In virtual patients with renal impairment, the blood levels of risedronate are increased, but not in an extent requiring dose adaptation.
