Ibandronic acid (INN) or ibandronate sodium (USAN), marketed under the trade names Boniva, Bondronat and Bonviva, is a potent bisphosphonate drug used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.[1]

It may also be used to treat hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels). It is Marketed and Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and Roche Laboratories.

Indications

Ibandronate is indicated for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. In May 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Ibandronate as a daily, 2.50mg dose treatment for post-menopausal osteoporosis. The basis for this approval was a three-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 2,946 women suffering post-menopausal osteoporosis. The participants received either a placebo or an oral ibandronate dose (2.50mg), or intermittently (20mg every second day in 12 doses at the beginning of each 3-month interval). Every participant also received daily oral doses of 500mg of calcium and 400IUs [international units] of vitamin D. At the study's conclusion, both doses significantly reduced the occurrence risk of new vertebral fractures by 50–52 per cent when compared to the effects of the placebo drug.
