Ibandronic Acid should be taken at least 60 minutes before any oral medications. Aspirin, NSAIDs, and bisphosphonates are all associated with gasrointestinal irritation, caution should be exercised in the concomitant use of aspirin of NSNADs with Ibandronic Acid.

Calcium Orotate: Calcium can decrease the absorption of the other drugs such as bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate/risedronate), quinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin), and tetracycline antibiotic (e.g., doxycycline, levofloxacin).

• Ibandronic Acid of this Kit may cause local irritation of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa.
• Adequate intake of Calcium is important in all patient hypocalcaemia
• Severe and occasionally incapacitating bone joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking Ibandronic Acid.
• Ibandronic Acid is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment (Creatinine clearance of <30 ml/min).

Calcium Orotate: Before taking Calcium Orotate, precaution is needed if the patient is allergic to Calcium Orotate. Any Calcium supplement taken without food may increase the risk of kidney stones. Therefore, it is advisable that Calcium Orotate be taken with food.

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
