What it is used for
Ibandronate sodium injection is a bisphosphonate indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Limitations of Use Optimal duration of use has not been determined. For patients at low-risk for fracture, consider drug discontinuation after 3 to 5 years of use
1.1 Treatment of
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Ibandronate sodium Injection is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, ibandronate sodium injection increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces the incidence of vertebral fractures.
