BIODRONATE INJECTION 60MG is a hypocalcemic agent that belongs to the bisphosphonates class. It is mainly used in lowering blood calcium levels and bone metastases/lesions in cancer patients. Besides this, it is also used to treat mild to moderate Paget's disease. Hypercalcemia (increased calcium levels) is a condition in which the calcium level in your blood is elevated due to certain conditions. Paget’s disease is a serious condition of bone that disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue, resulting in the new bone that is abnormally shaped, weak, and brittle.
BIODRONATE INJECTION 60MG contains Pamidronate as an active ingredient, which belongs to the class of bisphosphonates. It works by inhibiting the osteoclast bone resorption, which causes bone breakdown. When bone is broken down, the calcium in the bone is released into the bloodstream. Thus, it helps retain the normal density of bones and restores bone integrity, bone strength and bone health.
