Bonviva 150mg Tablets contain ibandronic acid, a bisphosphonate that inhibits bone resorption by reducing osteoclast activity. This helps increase bone mineral density and lowers the risk of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
The recommended regimen is one 150 mg tablet taken once monthly on the same date each month. Treatment should be combined with adequate calcium and vitamin D intake where appropriate and regular weight-bearing exercise. The 3-tablet pack provides a convenient three-month supply for ongoing osteoporosis management.
