Uses / Indications:
Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (lowers the chance of broken bones, especially in the hips and spine)
Osteoporosis resulting from prolonged corticosteroid administration (at the physician's discretion)
Keeping bones healthy in those who don't get enough calcium and vitamin D
Pregnancy interaction:
Not advised during pregnancy.
Animal studies reveal that ibandronic acid could be bad for a developing fetus.
It is acceptable to take calcium and vitamin D3 during pregnancy, but you should stay away from the bisphosphonate part (ibandronic acid).
Women who can get pregnant should use adequate birth control while taking this drug.
If you become pregnant, tell your doctor right away so they can change your treatment.
Expert advice:
Take the Ibandronic acid tablet once a month, first thing in the morning, and drink a full glass of water with it.
Stay seated or standing up for at least 60 minutes after taking it to avoid irritating your esophagus.
After taking ibandronic acid, you should not eat, drink, or take any other drugs for an hour.
You should take the calcium and vitamin D3 tablets in the kit every day after meals.
You shouldn't take calcium and ibandronic acid at the same time.
Tell your dentist before you have dental surgery or an extraction (bisphosphonates can cause problems with the jawbone, but this is unusual).
Side Effects:
Normal:
Stomach discomfort and indigestion
Heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation
Symptoms that feel like the flu, such as fever, muscle and joint discomfort, and tiredness
Dizziness and headache
Serious but not very common:
Irritation or ulceration in the esophagus
Low calcium levels can cause muscle cramping, tingling, and numbness.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (uncommon, following dental surgery)
Allergic symptoms include a rash, swelling, and trouble breathing.
How to use:
Ibandronic acid (a pill taken once a month):
Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with a full glass of plain water.
You shouldn't eat, drink, or take any other medicines for at least an hour following.
After you swallow, stay standing for 60 minutes.
Calcium and Vitamin D3 (tablets taken per day):
Take after eating to help your body absorb it better.
Don't take it at the same time as ibandronic acid.
How it works:
Ibandronic acid is a bisphosphonate that sticks to bones and stops them from breaking down by stopping osteoclast activity.
Calcium and vitamin D3 are important for developing bones and keeping them strong.
They work together to treat and stop osteoporosis, which is when bones become weak and break easily.
Faq for medicine:
Q1: Is it safe to take Rockbon Kit when pregnant?
No, it is not a good idea because it could hurt the baby.
Q2: Is it okay to eat Rockbon Kit with food?
You should take ibandronic acid on an empty stomach with plain water. You should take calcium and vitamin D after you eat.
Q3. What if I forget to take a dose?
Take it the next morning after you recall. You should never take two dosages in one day.
Q4. For how long should I use the Rockbon Kit?
Your doctor will make the decision based on your bone density and how well you respond. It might last a long time with osteoporosis.
Q5. Is it okay to drink milk with it?
No. You should only drink plain water when you take ibandronic acid. Milk and dairy make it harder for the body to absorb nutrients.
Medicine interaction:
Less absorption with milk, tea, coffee, calcium, iron, and antacids (take ibandronic acid exclusively with water).
Other interactions:
Aminoglycoside antibiotics (may raise the risk of low calcium).
NSAIDs raise the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Hormone therapy or corticosteroids may raise the chance of losing bone.
