Active Ingredient Description
Clodronic acid

Clodronic acid is a bisphosphonate, (formerly diphosphonates), a group of analogues of pyrophosphate, which have been shown, in vitro, to inhibit the formation and dissolution of calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite). In vivo, they have been shown to inhibit bone resorption to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the compound, and clodronate is one of the most effective in this respect.
