Indications

Osteoporosis

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Ibandronic Acid (Ibandronate Sodium Monohydrate) is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate. It stops osteoclasts from breaking down bone. It works because it binds readily to hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone. By reducing osteoclast activity, Ibandronate lowers bone resorption and bone turnover. In postmenopausal women the rate of bone turnover is raised, and Ibandronate brings it down, which leads, on average, to a net gain in bone mass.

The Coral Calcium and Colecalciferol combination is made of Calcium Carbonate with small amounts of Magnesium and other trace minerals. Coral Calcium is absorbed better than Calcium from other Calcium Carbonate sources, because its chemical structure is very close to the Calcium Carbonate in human bone. Vitamin D helps the body absorb Calcium from the GI tract and helps keep the Calcium balance in the body steady.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, so this kit should be used during pregnancy only if the likely benefit justifies the possible risk to the mother and the fetus.

Nursing mother: It is not known whether this kit passes into human milk. Because many drugs do pass into human milk, a nursing woman should be given this kit with caution.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The recommended dose is one tablet of Ibandronic Acid 150 mg once a month, on the same date each month. To get the most clinical benefit from Ibandronic Acid, two tablets of Calcium 500 mg and Vitamin D3 200 IU per day are usually recommended, in divided doses or as the physician directs. On Day 1, take the Ibandronic Acid tablet on an empty stomach, at least 60 minutes before the first food or drink of the day (other than water) and before any oral medicine or supplement, including Calcium, antacid and/or vitamins. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of plain water, either standing or sitting upright. Avoid lying down for 60 minutes. Do not chew or suck the tablet. From Day 2 to 31, take one tablet of Calcium and Vitamin D in the morning and one in the evening, after meals. Take the tablets in the order shown on the blister strip, which makes it easier to keep track of doses. In pediatric patients, safety and effectiveness have not been established.
