Pharmacology
Ibandronic Acid (Ibandronate Sodium Monohydrate) is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate that inhibits bone resorption carried out by osteoclasts. It works because it has an affinity for hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone. Ibandronate reduces osteoclast activity, and so it lowers bone resorption and turnover. In postmenopausal women, it brings down the raised rate of bone turnover, which leads on average to a net gain in bone mass.
Calcium (Algae Source) and Vitamin D3: the calcium here comes from a plant based algae that is hand harvested, sun dried and then milled into a powder. The algae plant draws Calcium and 12 other essential bone supporting minerals from seawater. The pharmacokinetic profiles of Calcium and its salts are well known. Gastric acid converts calcium carbonate to calcium chloride. Calcium is absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract, while the remainder reverts to insoluble calcium carbonate and calcium stearate and is excreted in the feces. Vitamin D3 aids the absorption of calcium from the Gl tract and helps to maintain calcium balance in the body.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There are no data on the use of ibandronic acid in pregnant women, so any risk linked to the medicine can't be worked out. This kit is not indicated for use in women of reproductive potential. There is no information on whether ibandronate is present in human milk, what it does to a breastfed infant, or whether it affects milk production. This kit should not be used during lactation.
