Skelid Information

Skelid at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand skelid (tiludronate) is manufactured by Sanofi Aventis in many countries worldwide, including Australia. The generic tiludronate is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Skelid is available as 200 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Skelid (tiludronate) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat Paget's disease of bone. This condition causes bones to grow and break down more rapidly than usual, leading to bone pain, deformity, and weakness. By slowing the abnormal bone turnover, skelid helps improve bone structure and reduce symptoms associated with the disease.

Mechanism of Action:
Skelid (tiludronate) is a bisphosphonate. It works by reducing the activity of bone-breaking cells (osteoclasts). When these cells become overly active (as in Paget's disease), bones may become fragile, painful, and abnormally shaped. By reducing excessive bone breakdown, skelid helps restore a healthier balance between bone formation and resorption, leading to stronger, more stable bone over time.

Take skelid exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Prescribing Information accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking skelid, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interactions:

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with skelid. Skelid may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Aspirin or anticoagulants – May increase gastrointestinal risk when taken with skelid
• Calcium, iron, magnesium, or antacids – taking these too close to your dose can reduce skelid's absorption.
• NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) – May increase stomach irritation when combined with skelid
• Other bisphosphonates – Do not use these together with skelid to prevent severe side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Skelid is not recommended during pregnancy due to the potential impacts on bone development in the fetus. Inform your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or plan to conceive. It is not known whether tiludronate passes into breast milk. Your doctor may recommend avoiding use while breastfeeding or considering an alternative medication. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant, or planning to breastfeed, it is crucial to consult your doctor before starting skelid.

Frequently Asked Questions about skelid at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is skelid more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including skelid, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower prices than in the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
