Mode of Action

Ibandronic Acid (Ibandronate Sodium Monohydrate) is a nitrogen- containing bisphosphonate that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The action of Ibandronate on bone tissue is based on its affinity for hydroxyapatite, which is part of the mineral matrix of bone. 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. The combination of Coral Calcium and Colecalciferol is composed of Calcium Carbonate with small amounts of Magnesium and other Trace minerals. Coral Calcium ensures better absorption than Calcium of other Calcium Carbonate origin due to its chemical structure that is very similar to the composition of human bone Calcium Carbonate. Vitamin-D aids in the absorption of Calcium from GI tract and helps to maintain Calcium balance in the body.
