| Popis: | Osteoporosis is a disease of great social importance. Its treatment is a complicated problem and it is associated with low compliance and a risk for adverse reactions. Ibandronate belongs to a group of bisphosphonates. The performed trials have proven the efficacy of its two formulations (a tablet once monthly and intravenous injection once every 3 months) in reducing the risk of bone fractures. At present there are data of trials of long-term therapy with this drug, which demonstrate its positive effect on bone mineral density and bone metabolism markers. The agent has been also shown to be highly safe when used long. |
