Ibandronate sodium is a medication belonging to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. It is primarily used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Here's some key information about ibandronate sodium:

1. Indications:

   • Osteoporosis Treatment: Ibandronate sodium is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone density and increased risk of fractures.
   • Osteoporosis Prevention: Ibandronate sodium may also be prescribed to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at risk of developing the condition.

2. Mechanism of Action:

   • Ibandronate sodium works by inhibiting bone resorption, which is the process by which bone tissue is broken down and absorbed by the body. It binds to bone and interferes with the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue.
   • By reducing bone resorption, ibandronate sodium helps to increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures associated with osteoporosis.
