Cursed Buttercup Overview

Ranunculus sceleratus, commonly known as "Cursed Buttercup" or "Celery-leaved Buttercup," is a plant species found in wetland areas across parts of North America and Eurasia. While it has historical use in traditional medicine for various purposes, it is important to note that some species within the Ranunculus genus contain toxic compounds, and this particular species, in particular, is known to cause skin irritation and blistering if handled. As such, it is not recommended for use as a dietary supplement or herbal remedy due to its potential toxicity. Always exercise caution and seek professional advice before using any plant for medicinal purposes.

Risedronate Overview

  • Risedronate tablets and delayed-release (long-acting tablets) are used to prevent and treat osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) in women who have undergone menopause (''change of life,'' end of menstrual periods). Risedronate tablets are also used to treat osteoporosis in men, and in men and women who are taking glucocorticoids (a type of corticosteroid medication that may cause osteoporosis). Risedronate tablets are also used to treat Paget's disease of bone (a condition in which the bones are soft and weak and may be deformed, painful, or easily broken). Risedronate is in a class of medications called bisphosphonates. It works by preventing bone breakdown and increasing bone density (thickness).
