Idrofos 6Mg Inj belongs to the group of medications called 'bisphosphonates' used to prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle.

Idrofos 6Mg Inj contains 'Ibandronic acid', which suppresses the activity of osteoclasts and makes the bone stronger. It increases bone mass and helps reduce the chance of having a fracture.

In some cases, Idrofos 6Mg Inj may cause side effects like joint pain, back pain, headache, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor. 

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Idrofos 6Mg Inj. Idrofos 6Mg Inj is not recommended for children below 18 years as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins the bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, women's ovaries stop producing oestrogen (a female hormone) that is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and bones that break much more easily than expected.
