This Kit is indicated for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

Composition

Each kit contains- 1 tablet of Ibandronic Acid 150 mg 60 tablets of Calcium Carbonate (Coral Source) 500 mg and Vitamin D3 200 IU as Colecalciferol

Theropeutic Class

Bisphosphonate preparations

Pharmacology

Ibandronic Acid (Ibandronate Sodium Monohydrate) is a nitrogen- containing bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.

Absorption

Ibandronate inhibits osteoclast activity and reduces bone resorption and turnover. In postmenopausal women, it reduces the elevated rate of bone turnover, leading to, on average, a net gain in bone mass.

Distribution

The action of Ibandronate on bone tissue is based on its affinity for hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone.

Metabolism

Vitamin-D aids in the absorption of Calcium from GI tract and helps to maintain Calcium balance in the body.

Notes:One tablet of Ibandronic Acid 150 mg once monthly on the same date of each month is recommended. To maximize clinical benefit of Ibandronic acid, two tablets of Calcium (Coral Source) 500 mg and Vitamin D 200 IU per day are usually recommended in divided dosage or as directed by the physician

Interaction of MarinCal Kit 150 mg+500 mg+200 IU

Ibandronic Acid: Products containing calcium and other multivalent cations (such as aluminum, magnesium, iron), including milk, food, and antacids are likely to interfere with absorption of Ibandronate. It is also found to interact with H2 blockers such as Ranitidine in several clinical trials..Calcium (Coral) and Vitamin-D: Oral Calcium can reduce the absorption of tetracycline & fluoride preparations and minimum 3 hours’ time should be allowed between ingestion of these medications. Thiazide diuretics reduce the renal excretion of Calcium. Phenytoin, barbiturates, glucocorticoids may induce metabolism of Vitamin D. Concomitant intake of certain foods like spinach, cereals, milk and its derivatives may reduce the intestinal uptake of Calcium.

Precautions & Warnings

Ibandronic Acid: Upper Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions: Ibandronic acid like other bisphosphonates administered orally may cause local irritation of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa. Because of these possible irritant effects, caution should be used when Ibandronic acid is given to patients with active upper gastrointestinal problems (such as known Barrett’s esophagus, dysphagia, other esophageal diseases, gastritis, duodenitis or ulcers). Hypocalcaemia and Mineral Metabolism: Treat hypocalcemia and other disturbances of bone and mineral metabolism before starting therapy. Musculoskeletal Pain: Severe and occasionally incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking Ibandronic acid and other bisphosphonates. Jaw Osteonecrosis: Osteonecrosis, primarily in the jaw, has been reported in patients treated with bisphosphonates. Most cases have been in cancer patients undergoing dental procedures, but some have occurred in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or other diagnoses. Calcium (Coral) and Vitamin-D: In mild hypercalciuria reduction of dose is sufficient to return to normal serum Calcium concentration. Plasma and serum Calcium level should be monitored in mild to moderate renal impairment patients and also in case of long term use. Patients with renal stone or with such previous history should be recommended to increase their fluid intake.
