Clodronate

Clodronate is a medication classified as a bisphosphonate, primarily used to treat diseases involving abnormal bone loss, such as osteoporosis and some cancers that spread to bones. It works by inhibiting the activity of special cells called osteoclasts, which break down bone tissue. By reducing bone resorption, clodronate helps strengthen bones, decrease fractures, and alleviate bone-related pain. It can be administered orally or via injections, and its use should be monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
