Pamidronate

Pamidronate is a medication used to treat conditions involving excess calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) and certain bone diseases. It works by slowing down the activity of cells that break down bone, helping to strengthen bones and reduce calcium levels. It’s often given through an IV in a hospital setting and is used for conditions like osteoporosis, cancers that spread to bones, and other bone disorders. Pamidronate helps prevent bone damage and manage symptoms, improving quality of life for affected patients.
