Etidronate

Uses

Etidronate is used in the treatment of osteoporosis. It is effective in treating osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men at high risk of fractures.

How it Works

How Etidronate works Etidronate is a bisphosphonate that suppresses the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone destruction. This action strengthens the bones and reduces the risk of fractures.

  • Take it in the morning at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything.
  • Maintain an upright posture for 30 minutes after taking the medication to prevent irritation of your esophagus.
  • Etidronate may cause a decrease in the calcium levels in your blood.
  • Incorporate calcium-rich foods into your diet and undergo regular blood tests to monitor your calcium levels.
  • It is essential to care for your mouth and teeth while taking this medication.
  • Schedule regular dental check-ups and inform your dentist that you are taking Etidronate.
