About STRONTIUM RANEL

Bone metabolism modulator, Antiosteoporotic agent

Mechanism of Action of STRONTIUM RANEL

Strontium ranelate is an antiosteoporotic agent which both increases bone formation and reduces bone resorption. Strontium ranelate stimulates the calcium sensing receptors and leads to the differentiation of pre-osteoblast to osteoblast which increases the bone formation. Strontium ranelate also stimulates osteoblasts to secrete osteoprotegerin in inhibiting osteoclasts formed from pre-osteoclasts in relation to the RANKL system, which leads to the decrease of bone resorption
