Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Gemcal kit is alright to take for longer period.
But take Risedronate tablet under strictly supervision of your prescribing doctor as it might cause few side effects.
It can cause heart burn, gastritis, some muscular pain etc.
Take this medicine with a full glass of water 30 minutes before you take any thing by mouth.
Take this medicine while sitting upright position and do no lie down within half an hour.
Ok and bye.
