risedronic acid and Leprosy

risedronic acid has been researched along with Leprosy in 2 studies

Risedronic Acid: A pyridine and diphosphonic acid derivative that acts as a CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER and inhibits BONE RESORPTION.

Leprosy: A chronic granulomatous infection caused by MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE. The granulomatous lesions are manifested in the skin, the mucous membranes, and the peripheral nerves. Two polar or principal types are lepromatous and tuberculoid.

Research Excerpts

"There is no well-established treatment for osteoporosis in male patients with leprosy, because no clinical trials have examined the efficacy of treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) or fracture incidence in such patients."2.72Effects of risedronate on lumbar bone mineral density, bone resorption, and incidence of vertebral fracture in elderly male patients with leprosy. ( Ando, K; Higashi, M; Kanaji, A; Namisato, M; Nishio, M; Yamada, H, 2006)
