Hướng dẫn pha thuốc
Prevention of skeletal events: Add contents of vial to 100 mL of NaCl 0.9% or dextrose 5%. Treatment of hypercalcaemia of malignancy: Add contents of vial to 500 mL of NaCl 0.9% or dextrose 5%.
Tương kỵ
Ca-containing soln.
Chống chỉ định
Hypocalcaemia; oesophageal abnormalities which may delay emptying (e.g. stricture or achalasia), inability to stand or sit upright for at least 60 min (oral).
Thận trọng
Patient w/ disturbances of bone and mineral metabolism. Severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min). Pregnancy and lactation.
Phản ứng phụ
Flu-like symptoms (e.g. myalgia, arthralgia, fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, bone pain), atypical fractures, osteonecrosis of the jaw, ocular inflammation, acute renal failure, hypocalcaemia, musculoskeletal pain. Rarely, anaemia, bronchospasm, taste disturbance, paraesthesia, uraemia; transient fever (IV); abdominal pain, dyspepsia, severe oesophageal reactions (oral).) Potentially Fatal: Anaphylactic reaction/shock.
Monitor serum Ca, Mg and phosphate; serum creatinine prior to each IV dose; bone mineral density (osteoporosis).
Quá liều
Symptoms: IV: Hypocalcaemia;, hypophosphatemia and hypomagnesaemia. Oral: Upper GI effects (e.g. stomach upset, oesophagitis, dyspepsia, gastritis, ulcer). Management: IV: Admin IV Ca gluconate, K or Na phosphate, and Mg sulfate when appropriate. Oral: May give milk or antacid to bind the drug.
Tương tác
Decreased absorption w/ Ca supplements, antacids and other multivalent cation-containing oral drugs. Increased incidence of GI irritation w/ aspirin or NSAIDs.
Food Interaction
Food may reduce absorption.
Lab Interference
May interfere w/ diagnostic imaging agents (e.g. technetium-99m-diphosphonate) in bone scans.
Tác dụng
Description: Ibandronic acid inhibits osteoclast activity w/o directly affecting bone formation resulting to increased bone mass and a decreased incidence of fractures through reduction of elevated bone turnover. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Poorly absorbed from the GI tract. Decreased absorption w/ food. Bioavailability: <1%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 0.5-2 hr (oral). Distribution: Plasma protein binding: Approx 87%. Metabolism: Not metabolised. Excretion: Via urine (approx 50-60% of absorbed dose) as unchanged drug; faeces (unabsorbed drug). Terminal half-life: Approx 5-25 hr (IV); 37-157 hr (oral).
