What does it do?

Ibandronate sodium hydrate is a medication belonging to the bisphosphonate class, primarily used for the treatment of osteoporosis. It works by inhibiting the destruction of bone, thereby increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures.

This ingredient inhibits the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone, preventing bone loss. As a result, bones become stronger and the risk of fractures decreases.
