Product Description

Idromet 6mg injection contains the active ingredient Ibandronic acid. It is prescribed to help treat or prevent osteoporosis in women. Osteoporosis refers to the thinning and weakening of bones which is common in post-menopausal women. At menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop producing the female hormone oestrogen, which helps to keep her skeletal system healthy. This is a prescription only medication and should not be taken unless prescribed by a doctor.

You should not be given this medicine if you are breastfeeding. Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have kidney problems or low calcium levels. Also, let your doctor know what other drugs you are taking. Some of them may affect, or be affected by, this injection, especially medicines used to treat severe infections and medicines used to treat cancer and osteoporosis. You may need frequent medical tests to check your kidney function and mineral levels. Avoid smoking or try to quit as smoking can reduce your bone mineral density, making fractures more likely. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can also cause bone loss and should be avoided.
