Pribend 150 Tablet 1 contains ibandronic acid (150 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Osteoclast inhibition: Ibandronic acid works by inhibiting osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue. This helps slow down the process of bone loss.

• Bone resorption reduction: By decreasing the activity of osteoclasts, this medicine reduces the rate at which bone is broken down and reabsorbed into the body, helping maintain bone strength.

• Bone mineral density improvement: Through its action on bone cells, ibandronic acid helps restore the balance between bone breakdown and formation, leading to increased bone mineral density over time.

• Fracture risk reduction: By strengthening bones and improving their mineral content, particularly in the spine, this medicine helps lower the risk of bone fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
