Ibandronate sodium is the generic version of a widely-used osteoporosis treatment more commonly known by the brand-names Boniva, Bondronat, Bonviva and ADRONiL, among others.

Patients frequently buy ibandronate sodium to both prevent osteoporosis and manage symptoms. Less commonly it may be used to treat high levels of calcium in the blood, a condition known as hypercalcemia.

Managing Bone Health

This medication is primarily used by women over age 30, who are increasingly at risk of osteoporosis as estrogen levels begin to drop. Post-menopausal women in particular are at risk of developing osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis describes a condition in which minerals are depleted from bones faster than they are deposited, which, over time, results in bones becoming brittle and weak, putting the patient at increasing risk of breaks or fractures.

Ibandronate sodium works in two ways:

• Encourages calcium deposit in bones, increasing density and strength;
• Inhibits calcium depletion, reducing bone weakness.

In cases where ibandronate sodium is used to treat existing osteoporosis, bone strength will gradually be restored.

Patients are encouraged to eat well during treatment to ensure the body is getting all the nutrients it needs, further enhancing bone health.

Getting the Most from Treatment

The medication comes in tablets, and treatment may be administered in two ways; either 2.5 mg taken daily, or 150 mg taken once per month. Which method is chosen may be determined by a doctor, depending on the severity of the condition and other factors; or it may be left up to personal preference, as both methods have pros and cons.

Regardless of how frequently the medication is taken, administration is the same:

• Each dose should be taken in its entirety in the morning shortly after waking.
• It should be taken with water only; avoid juice, tea, coffee or any other fluid for one hour.
• It should be taken on a completely empty stomach; avoid consuming any food, vitamins, supplements, other medications or any other substance for one hour.
• After taking the dose, remain either standing or sitting upright for one hour; do not lay down.
• After one hour, regular activities such as eating may resume.
• For best results, take each dose at the same time each day or on the same day each month.

Treatment often spans years. A doctor can best determine how long ibandronate sodium should be taken.
